This will include the design of the content schema of the OER platform, considering parameters such as subject/discipline, class/grade, audience (teacher/student/public), language etc. The processes of content creation and review will need to be formalized, by identifying the people who would take responsibility for these. Parameters for resource review need to be established to provide the grounds for acceptance or rejection of a resource submission. The processes of making the content public on the platform (publishing) too need to be laid out, including identifying the person(s) responsible.

Once the resource is approved, the 'publishing team' can upload the resource on the state OER platform, following guidelines for the process
Once the resource is approved, the 'publishing team' can upload the resource on the state OER platform, following guidelines for the process. The metadata for each and every resource in the repository must be provided, to ensure ease of access later.

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.

MediaWiki is the software platform that is used by Wikipedia, the world's most popular OER repository. It has several features to support collaborative content creation and editing.
{{Collapsed|MediaWiki features .... Read More=Mediawiki is a software created to support collaborative resource creation by many. It is easy for editors to add digital content in different formats (text, image, audio, video, html etc) and to revise the content added by others. Mediawiki keeps history of changes made on each page, allows ‘roll back’ to an earlier version Editing is password protected and can be configured to be restricted It is easy to add new web pages and link the content to other pages on the site, as well as from other sites (external links) Each page can be ‘tagged’ and pages can be collaged based on tags An ‘offline’ backup can be taken on DVD / pen drive and shared to access without Internet}}
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.

Maintenance of the OER platform
Maintenance of the OER platform
The platform wil require technological and acadeic maintennance
The platform will require technological maintenance, in terms of software upgrades for security and functionality, which will need to be done by the Technology Support Team at the state level. The content categorisation will also need to be regularly updated, to meet new requirements. The MediaWiki Content Management System adopted in both KOER and TROER has many features that support the easy maintenance of the platform.
