Open Source
Nearing its 10th anniversary, Open Source has found great
support across the board in the field of education. Users find great benefit
with the lower costs, relaxed intellectual property restrictions, ability to
modify product and the collaborative efforts that promote sharing within the
Open Source community.
There are several Open Source initiatives taking place in
SREB states, with more in the planning stages. As Open Source becomes more
widely used in SREB states, the Educational Technology Cooperative will provide
up-to-date information and resources to our members.
