Finding Open Educational Resources in Computing

The CS OER Portal was created with the goal of improving the findability and increasing the use of open educational resources in Computer Science. In this paper we describe the portal's design principles which exploit the domain specificity of the hosted content and are focused on enhancing the search and navigation in the portal. Distinctive retrieval features are the proposed topical recommendation and query-by-navigation. The latter allows users to formulate queries by walking through a directory-like structure based on the ACM/IEEE CS Curriculum Recommendation.
