Each state must have its own OER repository where all the content created by the department and by the teachers and teacher educators is shared for use of all.

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 [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 platforms.  
+
As in the case of NROER, content may be of two types - content which has been reviewed for quality assurance and is 'published', i.e. visible to all. Content which has not undergone the process would be visible only to the person providing the content to the repository, and to the quality assurance team.

  −
State platforms 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 platforms, this can help bring to fruit, the 1995 MHRD guidelines for teacher education, which envisioned district level text books.  
     −
In theory one platform 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 platform using the MediaWiki CMS. Andhra Pradesh also has its state OER platform.

'''National Platform v/s state platforms''' - 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 platforms. State platforms 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 platforms, this can help bring to fruit, the 1995 MHRD guidelines for teacher education, which envisioned district level text books.

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 platform using the MediaWiki CMS. Andhra Pradesh also has its state OER platform. The [http://teacher-network.in/OER/index.php Teacher Network] (on which this toolkit is available) can be used as a initial state repository. This site has been established and being maintained by IT for Change. Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia ([http://cemca.org.in CEMCA]), an inter-governmental organization of the Commonwealth countries helped establish this platform.
