Federation of repositories – service enabling schools and teachers to find educational content from many different countries and providers :
● More than 50 providers open to both public and private sectors
● Over 200,000 OERs covering all educational fields (K-12)
● More than 30 languages

eQNet - Quality Network for European Learning Resource Exchange (2009 – 2012)
http://egnet.eun.org/
Supported by the European Commission's Lifelong Learning Programme (LLP)Consortium: EUN and nine Ministries of education in Europe
Goal:
● Enable sharing of Open Educational Resources on a large scale● Streamline their evaluation
Result: Travel Well criteriaA set of metadata, describing OERs that would allow for identifying digital learning content that has a high potential to be re-used across national and linguistic boudaries.

Travel WellTravel Well criteria – methodology:
Expert teachers assessed learning objects in LRE for their travel well potential.
Analysis of the assessments:
● What criteria teachers considered most relevant?● Were there some criteria difficult to apply or deemed less relevant?
Result :● Travel Well criteria are suitable for pratical evaluation and can
noticeably reduce the subjectivity inherent in expert evaluation.● Showcase of 3,500 Travel Well resources, another 2,000 added
since then

Scientix Translation on demand v. Travel Well
Travel Well: to stimulate mutual exchange of OERs between both producers and end-users● Quick and objective evaluation of large number of OERs● Easy uptake by third parties
Scientix Translation on demand: to disseminate and promote good teaching practice in STEM education (IBSE)● Bound to subject-specific repositories with clearly defined set of good teaching practice● Require active user community● Specific funding needed
From May 2010 to November 2012:● 1,071 requests● 440 of them accepted
Criteria: more than one request for translation of a given OER
