| Abstract: | The transfer of methodologies common in libre
(free, open source) sofware development to the domain of educational resources can radically change the way educational content is developed and used, enabling both educational practitioners and students to become actively involved in its creation and distribution. New software architectures and tools are needed to effectively support this process. This paper describes a platform aimed to support the creation of free, collaboratively constructed educational content on the web, which has been developed within the Edukalibre project. It provides easy access to core technologies: a control version system combined with conversion tools to produce several convenient formats for each document. Its modular architecture offers many different interfaces to the users. The Edukalibre platform is distributed as libre software. |
