An Open Source Vision for Caribbean Higher Education

Collection type: Course

Course by: Barbara Joseph

Start »

Summary: The use of Open Source software is being seriously considered in the Caribbean as a viable alternative to more proprietary "brands" by Higher Educational institutions. The user-public must know the whole story and what are the issues and the possibilities of this vision. This collection of webs is a step in the direction of gaining that knowledge. It marks the start of our Open Source Reading project with teachers at the UTT. One hopes that soon Caribbean institutions will be more involved in the Open Educational resources movement using something like the cnx.org model.
Institution: University of Trinidad and Tobago
Course Number: READ E210--additional resource for project
