Open Source software in education

A useful series of contributions about Open Source software in education is building up on Penn State University World Campus's Terra Incognita web log, edited by Ken Udas, who is Executive Director of the PSU World Campus. There is a project description and a schedule of recent and planned contributions on the Commonwealth of Learning's Wikieducator wiki. For example there is a two-part interview by Ken with Ruth Sabean, UCLA's assistant vice-provost for educational technology, about why the University of California Los Angeles selected Moodle as its VLE. Future contributions, are set to be published at roughly fortnightly intervals for the next 6 months or so, and prospective authors are invited to get in touch with Ken.
