Current situation
Koolielu.ee (since 2009): repository of teacher-created learning resources, more than half of Estonian teacher are registered users, QA (subject moderators and QA checklist)
LeMill.net: 50K users, 70K learning resources, shutting down
Digital Exams: EIS prototype was received with mixed feelings
Textbook publishers are experimenting with various e-textbook formats (ePub, Web-based, apps, eLessons, LCMS)
Majority of digital learning resources are scattered around Web 2.0 (blogs, wikis, LearningApps, Khan Academy, Kahoot, Weebly, HotPotatoes etc)
Unsolved issues
Scaling up the use, re-mix and re-use, interoperability
Metadata collection from various repos
LO quality assurance, curriculum coverage
Teachers want to use hundreds different authoring tools
Majority of UG content is hidden, locked and hard to find
IPR violations, combining proprietary content and OER
