[TOS] Fwd: Paper in today's fir session on open source education...

[Heidi Ellis]

Hi Folks,

I went to the presentation below. It was somewhat interesting, however the
authors surveyed members of Linux user groups, not the development community
directly. They did find LPP learning in the communities that they looked at.

Passing on Steve's message because I didn't see this discussed anywhere 
else... (btw, for those at SIGITE -- how was West Point?)

Learning in the GNU/Linux Community

This paper presents an analysis of survey data provided by 4603 
respondents reflecting on learning within the context of GNU/Linux and 
other FOSS communities. The intent of the paper is to facilitate an 
evaluation of GNU/Linux and its properties as a participatory learning 
community by educational technologists, educators, education 
administrators, and other education stakeholders. In this paper, 
researchers analyze data to determine whether the GNU/Linux community 
exhibits significant characteristics of a community engaged in the 
process of legitimate peripheral participation.
