OER Initiatives in Kyrgyzstan/OER
The Blimkeni Academy project produced freely available video lessons, uploaded to YouTube, in the Kyrgyz language in 12 school subjects, funded by Open Society. They "spent three months working with local teachers, training them on the equipment (for example, how to use a graphic pen they would use during the lessons), and producing the video classes. The teachers developed original lessons and content for the recordings."
