Paper Abstract:
|
Recently emerging methodologies for producing educational resources resembling those used in the libre (free, open source) software will radically change the way educational content is developed and used on the web. To fully implement the libre idea, both educational practitioners and students should become actively involved in the creation and distribution of open resources. New architectures are needed to effectively support this process. The paper describes a novel, truly open platform to support the creation of free, collaboratively constructed educational content on the web. The platform has been developed within the Edukalibre project. The Edukalibre system provides easy access to core technologies composed of a control version system combined with conversion tools to produce several convenient formats for each document. Its modular architecture offers many different interfaces to the users. The Edukalibre platform is distributed as libre software |
