FAQ

Can I upload OER to OERSI?

No, OERSI does not store any educational content. See Add single resources on options how to publish your resource to be findable in OERSI.

How can I make OER findable in OERSI?

Make sure your content and metadata meet the OERSI inclusion criteria. If yes, check the documentation. Get in contact with the team if you have any questions.

How can I integrate OERSI into my website / application?

You can query the data from OERSIs open API on-the-fly and use it directly in your application as well as download the data in bulk for further use.

Why do I get duplicate results via the API?

Never make on-the-fly search requests to https://oersi.org/api/search/_search - these return results from multiple indexes. When searching via the API, always include the index oer_data: https://oersi.org/api/search/oer_data/_search

Am I allowed to use the OERSI logo?

Yes, the OERSI logo may be used in presentations, on websites or similar to refer to OERSI.

What metadata fields are supported by OERSI?

The OERSI-internal metadata profile largely matches with the General Metadata Profile for Educational Resources (Allgemeines Metadatenprofil für Bildungsressourcen, AMB).
