Every 11 seconds a teacher falls in love with an OER -- thanks to metadata

Sabine Stummeyer & David Stöllger

Metadata play a crucial role in the findability of Open Educational Resources; irrespective of your level of expertise when it comes to OER. We want to show that describing one's own works with metadata need not be a pesky nuisance in the process of publication, but can be also be fun.
