Description of good practice:
The aim of ELIXIER is the development of a standardized interface for the exchange of metadata between the German education servers and the provision of a common resource pool for teaching / learning materials, especially for school lessons. The range includes around 50,000 educational media that have been editorially selected and tested for quality. Researchable content ranges from texts such as worksheets or teaching units to images, audio and video material, to self-study materials such as web quests and school software for download. In addition to the content created by the editors of the education server, materials from lehrer-online, Planet Schule, the Siemens Foundation or the self-learning platform Mauswiesel of the Hessian education server can be searched in an integrated search.
