Abstract
AbstractOne of the obstacles that prevent the widespread adoption of Open Educational Resources (OER) is the difficulty to find appropriate OER for specific educational objectives. This paper investigates this discoverability problem by searching for OER in eleven well-known repositories of OER (ROER). The search for “Language Game” and “Italian Language” OER was used as a case study. The search found very few useful language OER in these ROER. Also, it revealed a number of obstacles in finding appropriate OER such as the absence of a uniform structure of ROER, the absence of a uniform OER metadata description, inaccurate, obsolete, and missing metadata descriptions of OER, obsolete OER, not really open and free educational resources, and more. Finally, the paper makes suggestions for improving both ROER and OER description.KeywordsFind OERLanguage OEROEROER repositoriesOpen educational resourcesROERSearch OER
