Ciao a tutti interessante osservazione: --------- Messaggio inoltrato ---------
Oggetto: [libreoffice-website] LibreOffice For Schools Data: venerdì 14 marzo 2014, 23:56:38 Da: timothy.m.butterwo...@gmail.com A: documentat...@global.libreoffice.org, market...@global.libreoffice.org, webs...@global.libreoffice.org, proje...@global.libreoffice.org, des...@global.libreoffice.org Is anyone interested in creating a LibreOffice for Education Text Book project? This can and probably should be setup as its own working group. The California Open Source Textbook Project http://www.opensourcetext.org/ Is currently seeking Open Source Text Books for The California Public Schools K-12. They require the material to be presented in a Text Book style. This would be a good way to get LibreOffice into Word Processing Classes in California High Schools as well as schools around the world. College Open Text Book http://www.collegeopentextbooks.org/ Is also seeking Text Books for use in Colleges, This would be a good opportunity to get LibreOffice into College's across the US! Open Text Book Library is another College Initiative http://open.umn.edu/opentextbooks/ as well. There are quite a few more of these organizations that partnerships could be established with as well. I have been seeing a number for these popping up and I have seen some that will pay $20,000 USD for Creative Commons Text Book Donations late last year which could be used to help fund the this working group. Community developed software with educational community developed Course-ware would work out pretty well. These initiatives would require producing a full text book with exercises etc. As The LibreOffice Software already has an unbeatable low cost all we are missing to take over the education sector is unbeatable low cost course-ware to go with it. Establishing a full LibreOffice For Education program with the goals of not only producing the text books but also full courses and possibly Moodle course ware, Produced courses could even potentially be made available at edX https://www.edx.org/ (Which has a Free Into To Linux Course this year for those who have not registered for it yet.) It is a $2,400 course normally taught by The Linux Foundation.
