The resources created by teachers and shared on the PLCs can be reviewed by expert groups, set-up by subject. The resources that are seen as valuable should be made available to all teachers on an on-line space. The on-line space can be designed using a FOSS Content Management System such as MediaWiki. MediaWiki is the software platform that is used by Wikipedia, the world's most popular OER repository. It has several features to support collaborative content creation and editing.

Mediawiki is a software created to support collaborative resource creation by many. It is easy for editors to add digital content in different formats (text, image, audio, video, html etc) and to revise the content added by others.
A larger number of 'widgets' are available to 'embed' resources from other websites into the Wiki page.
Mediawiki keeps history of changes made on each page, allows ‘roll back’ to an earlier version
Editing is password protected and can be configured to be restricted It is easy to add new web pages and link the content to other pages on the site, as well as from other sites (external links)
Each page can be ‘tagged’ and pages can be collaged based on tags
Metadata can be stored for each file and each page using the 'Categories' feature.
An ‘offline’ backup can be taken on DVD / pen drive and shared to access without Internet{{Collapsed}}
As in the case of NROER, content may be of two types - content which has been reviewed for quality assurance and is 'published', i.e. visible to all. Content which has not undergone the process would be visible only to the person providing the content to the repository, and to the quality assurance team.
