| Abstract | The objectives of this 2nd report of the FLOSSCom project are as follows: ? To analyze and evaluate the differences between Free / Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities as informal learning environments and on the other side formal educational settings ? Point out ways on transferring those FLOSS principles to formal educational settings ? Look at existing examples of eLearning delivery and examine why these do not provide the types of constructivist learning environments observed in FLOSS communities. ? Provide examples of formal educational environments similar to FLOSS communities that would be further addressed at the FLOSSCom Phase 3 ?FLOSS-like education transfer report?. |
