• Open-Source Platforms for Education and Equalization

  … If connectivity is of prime importance, what comes second? That place, I believe, goes to the need to provide a learning platform of some kind – at least as a “kick-start” initiative …

  national platform cobbled together from Web 2.0 and open-source tools – such a platform could only ever be a starting point. Once learners get used to a pre-determined set of tools such as this, they would soon begin to explore the Web for themselves, for better tools, for more productive applications, and for the services that they want to use for their own good reasons. It would be a platform that would be bio-degradable as its users acquired the sophistication to go off on their own to create their own personal learning environments. Perhaps therefore we are looking to create a learning un-platform!
