It is argued that the method offers a convenient tool to utilize Open Educational Resources (OER) and can significantly improve the availability of education worldwide. The article gives a description of the design and implementation of a course within the project USo+I: Universidad, Sociedad e Innovación financed by the European Union, within the ALFA III program. The course uses only OER and all material is available from USB memory sticks to meet any problems of limited access to computers or internet.}, refereed = {yes}, url = {http://ijedict.dec.uwi.edu/viewissue.php?id=28#Notes_from_the_Field}, attachments = {EDICT-2011-1209.pdf}, }
