Comment Help with learning FOSS (Score 1) 463

Using computers in schools is as much about helping with learning, as teaching the use of the computers themselves. Teachers must be able to use them too, in order to help students. The ECDL (European Computer Driving License, also known as the ICDL International Computer Driving License) standard is a common set of learning requirements about the operation of a modern GUI PC, and its applications. While fairly popular and theoretically platform neutral, the ECDL has been complemented with books, courses, and e-learning tools that are all Microsoft Windows, and Microsoft Office based, effectively excuding that FOSS could be learned by those attending ECDL courses. We have developed to fill up this void http://www.openicdl.com/ which is an interactive online e-learning course based on Linux, Mozilla, and OpenOffice. Schools that want to adopt FOSS based curricula are using OpenICDL to first teach their teachers, and successively their students.
