About This Guide

When you search for open educational resources (OER)  in Japan, you may find that they are scattered across different university websites and institutional repositories. This can make it difficult to find relevant materials quickly and easily.

The OER Repository helps solve this problem by bringing metadata from these sources together in a single searchable platform. This guide shows you how to use the OER Repository to search across university repositories and find OER more efficiently.

Access the OER Repository here:  https://oer.nii.ac.jp
