The resources created by teachers and shared on the PLCs can be reviewed by expert groups, set-up by subject. The resources that are seen as valuable should be made available to all teachers on an on-line space. The on-line space can be designed using a FOSS Content Management System such as MediaWiki.

For a country like India, with a federal structure, the national level repository should be seen more as a role model (like NCERT text books) and states should set up their own OER portals.  

For a country like India, with a federal structure, the national level repository [http://nroer.gov.in NROER] should be seen more as a role model (like NCERT text books) and states should set up their own OER portals.  

State portals can encourage greater participation of teachers in OER creation, revision and sharing. Over time SCERT should encourage DIETs / district groups to make their own localised resources and publish on state portals, this can help bring to fruit, the 1995 MHRD guidelines for teacher education, which envisioned district level text books.

In theory one portal for India can meet all requirements, in practice, states should have their own spaces for autonomous resource creation, revision, curation and sharing

In theory one portal for India can meet all requirements, in practice, states should have their own spaces for autonomous resource creation, revision, curation and sharing. Hence the resources created by the program should be hosted by the state governments as OER for wide use by teachers, and for adapting, revising and re-distributing. Telangana has developed the state OER portal using the MediaWiki CMS. Andhra Pradesh also has its state OER portal.
