FLOSS discussion paper
Futurelab has published a discussion paper entitled 'The potential of open
source approaches for education', which gives a historical overview of the
development of FLOSS (Free, Libre, Open Source Software) and the key debates
around it. The paper also explores some of the ways in which the approaches
which characterise the FLOSS movement might be applied in educational contexts.
The potential of open source approaches for education is available from the
Futurelab website [ http://www.futurelab.org.uk/research/opening_education.htm
