LeMill is a web community for finding, authoring, and sharing open learning resources. It was developed as part of the EU CALIBRATE project. LeMill allows teachers to create learning resources like web pages, presentations, exercises and share them. Over 6,000 learning resources in several languages have been uploaded to LeMill under open licenses. LeMill also functions as a social network, allowing users to link to others and form groups for collaborative authoring and discussions. Future plans include continuing to offer LeMill as a free service and adding new features like PowerPoint importing.
