Summary: Open-Of-Course
Project: Site News Admin

Open-Of-Course is a new moodle based, multilingual portal for free online courses and tutorials. On open-of-course all content is published as open content, so either it is in the public domain or under a creative commons license.

Through open-of-course we want to make it easier to find this kind of free information. Also we hope to stimulate the development of open content educational material. The focus is at the beginning mainly on educational material for open source software but as we grow, more subjects will be covered.

Open-of-course is looking for people that want to contribute to this free educational portal. There are many ways to do that. More information can be found on the website.

Well, depressing as it sounds, I think that you have touched upon one of the most important problems in American society. There is little support for the concept of "the common good" any more.

I see this all the time where I live among well-to-do, retired folks who move here for the golf, the tennis, the horses, mild weather, etc. - for the good life. They do not want to pay taxes for the schools because their children are out of school. It does not matter to them one bit that it is in society's interest to educate everyone's children.

It is more important to go to a nice restaurant a couple of times a week and spend the weekend on the boat.

Just too selfish to care about anyone else, I guess.

Hi, Uwe,

Did a little poking around and it looks like the blog entry here by Ludo indicates he is working on this integration, I think. Sending him a private message might be the way to go.

Hope that helps.
