Abstract
Developing teaching materials is a time-consuming
and expensive activity. Thus, over the years, several consortia
have created joint materials to benefit from them. It is expected
that shared teaching materials are a means to save effort in its
development, to transfer methodological and technical knowledge
between different university staff, and to exchange experience in
practical application. However, does it really pay off considering
the diversity of different educational environments and the
difficulties of using externally produced materials, rather than
dedicated individual ones? This paper reports on the experience
gained in a multi-country project. Both success factors and
problems are outlined. It turned out that sharing an educational
repository by several partners supports maintaining quality of
teaching materials by joint efforts and distributed contributions.
