The material search enables anyone to search through the indexed OER sites that are connected in our network via our Connect service and API, a library developed for acquiring behaviour data. The material search functionality is cross-lingual and functions as a Recommendation Engine.

The materials shown currently are text, video and audio which we have enriched through Wikification and stored into a database that contains data about user activities in the OER sites that integrated our Connect Service.

This search consists of four major components – the database, ingesting and processing pipeline, services and platform API – each employed to perform a separate task for three types of OER materials; text, video and audio.
