repository repositioned: a new way of doing things as oer changes
DESCRIPTION
OER and MOOCs are often concerned or seen as a tool for improving education across the globe. Access to OER is however mediated through either localised or language specific repositories. Solvonauts is an open source OER repository tool – designed to make building a searchable OER index as easy as possible. The tool also has capabilities to translate metadata so to promote access by increasing the amount of resources returned.TRANSCRIPT
