LRE Vision
• LRE is a service for MoE that is driven by MoE and involves private sector partners
• Aim is to improve use and reuse of educational content in schools
– better technical interoperability between repositories
– improve semantic interoperability of content
– develop best practice in how to implement content-related standards
http://lre.eun.org
LRE Vision
• It is NOT a centralised portal…
• But a framework that supports semantic and technical interoperability of content repositories
http://lre.eun.org
http://lre.eun.org
LRE Added Value• MoE sharing resources that ‘travel well’
• Federated search from within national portals (Scoilnet)
• An open architecture that MoE can implement locally
• Social tagging and curriculum mapping tools
• LRE application profile, multilingual thesaurus, automatic metadata generation

The most important Europe-wide (and potential global) player in e-learning content may become the European Schoolnet (EUN) through their European Learning Resource Exchange which is currently under development.
