This thesis aims to understand, how these Open Educational Resources (OER) together with tablet PCs can support schools in rural areas to enhance their courses. To achieve this goal, an OER on tablet PCs solution is developed, applying technological and pedagogical methods for using OER on tablet PCs in a rural school in Mpumelelo, Zimbabwe.The focus for this thesis is on the subject Biology. Two scenarios are evaluated in a design research approach. A class of 45 pupils in rural Zimbabwe accessed an Apple TimeCapsule device, enriched with relevant OER for their current subject. The scenarios included the application of videos and reading textbook sections from the tablet PCs. Both scenario applications were observed by two students from the University of Teacher Education (PHLU)....
