Say no to Reinventing the Wheel: How other Countries can Build on the Norwegian Model of State-Financed OER to Create More Inclusive Upper Secondary Schools
Frank J. Müller, Open Praxis, 2021/10/27

"Since 2006," writes Frank J. Müller, the Norwegian platform NDLA "has succeeded in establishing a comprehensive large-scale platform for the development and distribution of OER, despite large obstacles." This article, based on interviews with the people responsible for the program, offers lessons potentially applicable in other countries. "The development of a multi-professional team is an important step," he writes. "The cooperation with a team of web designers, photographers, etc. enables further development... it is particularly worthwhile to think about the efficient design of input screens " This means especially "separating the subject-didactic contents from technical and licencing-related aspects." Müller notes that "The newly built platform is available as open source on github and is already geared towards multilingualism." The platform also used and financed the development of H5P.
