Competences:
Reading/numeracy
Target group:
Primary school - Grade 4-5
Average estimated time:
10-12 hours
An OER
example:
“A snack by
the March
Hare”
Reading (finding explicit
information in the text)
Numeracy (directly and
inversely proportional)
Chances:
 To professionalize the OERs’ use by teachers
Chances
and
challenges
concerning
the use
of the
database
 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:
 “Disappearances” of one OER from the Italian selected pool,
that was substituted. How to deal with this issue?
 Difficulties in reading the long text fields in the DB
 Need for descriptive/summary statistics on the scores
assigned (e.g. per country, per topic, per target group..)
 Need for “word labels” assigned to scores (0= not provided,
1 = extremely poor ….6= excellent), explaining N/A
functioning in the DB
