Hi Folks, I went to the presentation below. It was somewhat interesting, however the authors surveyed members of Linux user groups, not the development community directly. They did find LPP learning in the communities that they looked at.

(btw, for those at SIGITE -- how was West Point?) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Paper in today's fir session on open source education... Date: Thu, 20 Oct 2011 09:50:58 -0400 Learning in the GNU/Linux Community This paper presents an analysis of survey data provided by 4603 respondents reflecting on learning within the context of GNU/Linux and other FOSS communities. The intent of the paper is to facilitate an evaluation of GNU/Linux and its properties as a participatory learning community by educational technologists, educators, education administrators, and other education stakeholders. In this paper, researchers analyze data to determine whether the GNU/Linux community exhibits significant characteristics of a community engaged in the process of legitimate peripheral participation. http://sigite2011.sigite.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/session02-paper01.pd f _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos _______________________________________________ tos mailing list [email protected] http://lists.teachingopensource.org/mailman/listinfo/tos
