What you would do with OER or open pedagogy if you had unlimited time and resources?

One challenge in adopting OER is in the searching and assessment of appropriate materials—a creation of a taxonomy and associated facets by discipline areas and competency-based metrics commonly found in higher education. A solution to this would be to create a meta-repository in the form of a website where all OER materials (podcasts, textbooks, pictures, videos, written works, and items in the public domain) would be categorized and grouped for easy identification. Associated with the identified OER works would be peer-reviewed rubric, completed by experts in the discipline, as an additional guide to help in the selection of OER resources.
