Title
Free technology academy: a European initiative for distance education about free software and open standards
Abstract
More and more people and organisations embrace Free Software (FS) and Open Standards (OS). However a lack of knowledge holds back their massive adoption. The Free Technology Academy will address this by setting up a virtual campus offering course modules on these topics to become a showcase of a virtual campus based on FS, OS and the use of Open Educational Resources. This distance learning programme will enable IT professionals, students, teachers and decision makers to upgrade knowledge and acquire relevant skills on free technologies. The FTA is realised by an international consortium and welcomes other interested parties to join the network.
