<br>I'm working on a mini-research project entitled "E-learning in 'open source'<br>
education: exploratory study'" (as part of a short course at University<br>
College London).<br><br>
The idea is that the "open source" way of working (used to develop software<br>
e.g. Linux) can also be useful as an approach in education. So I'm reviewing<br>
various education initiatives, like some addressed in this email, that have<br>
elements of an open source approach to education. I'm basically documenting<br>
the pedagogies, open source elements and uses of e-learning.<br></blockquote></div><br><div>First, Welcome aboard -- this sounds like very interesting work.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I'm wondering if you are just tackling this from a pedagogical point of view, or if you are also interested in Adult experiences in education. Having become involved from that tact, I'd like to do some investigations from that angle, in addition to younger learners.</div>
<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Let us know if there is anything you might need assistance with. I would be delighted to help with your project.</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>
