Preparing the Ne(x)t Generation: Lessons learnt from Free/Libre Open Source Software and their Communities

In this article, the authors Andreas Meiszner, Rüdiger Glott and Sulayaman K. Sowe, examine the lessons that can be learnt from the Free / Libre Open and Source Software (FLOSS) communities. FLOSS communities, as good practice examples of Open Participatory Learning Ecosystems, illustrate possible pathways for higher education to go beyond the limits of the current Open Educational Resource move.
