How to open OER file?
The most common problem when using AU OER TOOLS Project Format is that a specific OER is not associated with the program. This causes the file OER to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the OER file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install Sublime Text
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Sublime Text is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Sublime Text into the system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file OER.
Programs to open OER file
Remember to download programs supporting OER files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sublime Text with OER files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the OER file to open in the Sublime Text application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the OER file with the Sublime Text program.
Step 3. Update Sublime Text to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sublime Text program, it is possible that AU OER TOOLS Project Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Sublime HQ Pty Ltd website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the OER file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The OER file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the OER file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the OER file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected OER files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the OER file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged OER files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted OER files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the OER file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the OER file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the OER file again. However, some background programs may block the OER file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
