Knowledge, Learning, Community
Text of an address by Sir John Daniel, the President and CEO of the Commonwealth of Learning. The title on the web page (but not on the text) is: "Eliminating the Traffic Jams on the Road to Freedom". The encouraging bit is this: "In both these areas, Learning Management Systems and Learning Objects, COL will promote and facilitate the use of Free and Open Source Software, or FOSS for short. The extension of the concept of open source software to the arena of learning objects is one of the most hopeful developments in education in years, because it will make the sharing, adaptation and re-use of learning materials so much easier." The message is getting through.
