Abstract
As the world becomes more and more "connected", Open Educational Resources provide an important opportunity for sharing content and pedagogical practices. O.E.R. repositories are platforms that include and facilitate access to them and they are considered essential for the storage and exploitation of the interoperability of Open Educational Resources. Improving the quality of Open Educational Resources repositories is a critical link in a chain where there is a need to establish a set of good practices that will stabilize the operational capabilities of these repositories. In order to ensure the quality of O.E.R. repositories, various approaches and levels of quality assurance of the Open Educational Resources repositories are presented, as well as ten quality indicators that have been identified as important for the design, development and operation of O.E.R. repositories.
