In this section we introduce you to the EPrints repository software that powers the national and regional repository for the Pacific Partnership.

Pacific OER collections

The Pacific Partnership for Open, Distance and Flexible Learning is supporting the establishment of national OER collections for Commonwealth members of Small Island Developing States, so that teachers can share teaching resources.

The project is powered by the EPrints free and open-source software package for building open access repositories, developed by the University of Southampton School of Electronics and Computer Science. As open source software, this means that any country will be able to establish their own repositories.

Each Pacific country will be invited to assign moderators to assist with customising the repository software to align the subject classifications with the national school curriculum for their own OER collections. Resources submitted via national OER collections, will be searchable through a syndicated regional repository for the Pacific. So for example, teachers in Tuvalu will be able to search for deposits shared from the Samoa repository.
