I am wondering where OerBIT sits in this kind of system?

It might be overkill if most of your OER are single files. It's also best at monitoring changes in text files, so if your OER are binary, you're loosing a significant part of git's power.

Alfresco would be where educators would upload/download/version control OER and Moodle would be where learners would learn from it and educators would preview their work.
