pedagogic choice, enhanced flexibility and new business and social
models. Furthermore, the idea of Open Source is being extended into
other areas including the production of e-learning materials.

This conference is organised by two European sponsored projects,
SIGOSSEE and JOIN, which have been investigating the potential of Open
Source and providing services for educational institutions wishing to
implement Open Source products, together with the Open University of the
Netherlands (OUNL) which has a long track record of innovation in
e-learning.

The conference focuses on a number of major issues in Open Source in
education in Europe including:

â Learning with Open Source
â Open standards for e-learning
â Sustainability strategies â managing open source
â Open content, issues and implications

The conference is open to all interested in Open Source in education
including researchers, managers, teacher and trainers, policy makers and
developers.
