Siyavula is a project to support teachers to work collaboratively to share and develop openly licensed resources under a Creative Commons copyright license, resources which can be printed, adapted to ensure cultural relevance and refreshed freely without the barriers associated with the vast majority of material which is under a traditional, restrictive copyright licence.

Siyavula will work with teachers and partners to support the online community in the sharing of knowledge and resources to save teachers time and allow them to focus on delivering quality education. To achieve this, Siyavula has partnered with open education resources pioneer, Connexions, to extend their education portal to serve as the foundation for Siyavula’s community of educators.

To ensure that educators can fully harness the power of the knowledge portal, Siyavula has also partnered with Edunova and a team of expert community facilitators, so that teachers gain maximum benefit from the support team and portal.
