Measures of usefulness

Openness

Accessibility

Relevance

Native search mechanisms perhaps?

i. Facilitate finding, retrieving and sharing of OER.

Encourage the development of user-

friendly tools to locate and retrieve OER that are

specific and relevant to particular needs.

Existing Search Methods

Page 37: OER search - how to search and locate relevant material

Some Existing Solutions

• Federated Search: BRENHET2; OpeScout; Global Learning Object Brokered Exchange (GLOBE); and Pearson’s Project Blue Sky.

• Semantic Search: OER-CC ontology; the “Assistant” prototype; the “Folksemantic” project; and “Agrotags”.
