4. Chances and challenges concerning the use of the database Chances:  To professionalize the OERs’ use by teachers  To provide final users with a “sneak peek” of OERs produced in other European countries  To create a common set of well-established core values for quality definition  To identify the minimum set of features necessary to fruitfully use an OER in daily classes Challenges:  External consistency issues: Need to refine the internal consortium common agreement on the specific meaning of each category in order to be more reliable  Internal consistency issues: During the upload / evaluation process it is not possible to come back and see what has been done  N/A and other values can coexist – so double scoring?  Missing link to target group: this would be crucial for an easy “search and find” process
