ORFEE: the Open Repository For Educational E-prints of the University of Teacher Education of State of Vaud

Abstract

ORFEE is the acronym for Open Repository For Educational E-prints, the institutional repository of the University of Teacher Education of State of Vaud (Haute Ecole Pédagogique du canton de Vaud). Faculty of this institution are invited to self-archive and to spread their scientific production with the ORFEE online platform (orfee.hepl.ch). The major challenge for Open Access in the field of teacher training institutions is to support the worldwide electronic dissemination of scientific literature in educational sciences and practices. The idea is to provide completely free and unrestricted access to the scientific community, teachers, students and all inquiring minds.
