Özet: Open Education Resource (OER) culture is in its infancy in the Spanish university system. Its introduction would substantially enhance teacher and learner’s potential. The present paper describes National Distance University (Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia, UNED) experience with the re-use of existing materials and the generation of new resources in a creative, cooperative and international environment that has furthered the integration of virtual education platforms and led to the federation of several European universities' educational resource repositories. The environment tends to be creative, collaborative, international and multilingual in order to analyze the adaptation process in multicultural resources and synergies arising from the coordinated use of the most popular social networks (Facebook, Twitter, etc.). Results have stressed the importance of a broad base of resources and portal usability. The use of social networking is in an early stage in its relationship to the educational process mainly due to fear of problems of confidentiality.
