A repository platform for OERs
Panagiotis Stasinakis, Open Education Platform, 2017/12/11

• DSpace, with search functionality, categories, OER's meta data etc., but tricky to use

• Edu-sharing, developed in Germany
• Gitbook.com and Github.com to write, store, and share OER content, also Github at P2PU, and also github/jekyll

• HackMD - a realtime, multiplatform collaborative markdown note editor
• Curriki provides the ability to create Groups for Discussions and create Group related and/or specific resources

Note that the annotations are from the posts on the discussion list, not from me. More...
