[IRTalk] New database puts African education research at the heart of policy and practice

[Allison Fullard]

Thanks for the information, Leti.  I wonder whether the Cambridge-based
project has pulled on *African Higher Education Research Online (AHERO*)
<http://ahero.uwc.ac.za>.  This was the first Africa-based disciplinary OA
repository and began collecting papers back in 2005.  It remains active and
is managed by a PhD student at the Institute of Post-School Studies at
University of the Western Cape.  It has nearly 1,000 research papers
focusing on policy, institutional affairs and teaching and learning case
studies from African HEIs.

Now a little clunky, and in need of a panel-beating, this platform has
served many thousands of papers over the years!

Regards
Allison
