Implementing the full vision of Open and Distance Learning (ODL) raises immense technological challenges. The goal is to move from current localised, restricted and locked proprietary content towards the open discovery, use and combination of resources independent from their geographic and institutional origins.

Beyond this first step however, new technological barriers to the full realisation of the ODL vision appear: How to discover these open resources?
