Open discovery space: a socially-powered and multilingual open learning infrastructure to boost the adoption of elearning resources

OpenDiscoverySpace (ODS) is a 3-year European FP7 project comprising 51 partners from 23 European countries. ODS project aspires to boost demand for OERs and to introduce innovative teaching and learning practices in schools through the effective use of these resources. The project also intends to promote the creation of communities between European schools. In order to concentrate both, OERs and school communities, it has been built a large, multilingual community and a web portal around the diverse OERs that are currently dispersed in well-known educational repositories in Europe. The portal is a community-oriented social platform where students, teachers and parents will be able to discover, acquire, share, discuss, reuse and revise OERs.
