OERhub indexes only the metadata of resources and directs users to the respective institutional repository in accordance with the owner principle, ensuring that data ownership remains with the originating institutions. Higher education institutions retain full responsibility for their local infrastructures, including production processes and archiving. By aggregating locally stored OER, the OERhub broadens access beyond individual institutions, enhancing the visibility of learning, teaching and research resources.
