Just one day before the Independence Day last year, India had launched a new learning repository for open educational resources (OER) dubbed as National Repository of Open Educational Resources (NROER). The Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Human Resource Development, Government of India, Central Institute of Educational Technology and the National Council of Educational Research and Training have collaboratively developed the National Repository of Open Educational Resources (NROER).
The project receives its funds from the Department of School Education and Literacy.
Launched by Dr Pallam Raju, India’s Minister for Human Resource Development, the repository currently includes videos, audio, interactive media, images, and documents, and aims to “bring together all digital and digitisable resources for the [Indian] school system – for all classes, for all subjects and in all languages.
Dr Shashi Tharoor, India’s Minister of State for Human Resource Development, announced the repository’s default licence for all.
Although the study material in the repository is available only in English, but it is expected that it would also be made available in other regional languages by the end of 2014.
