Abstract
The objectives of this 2nd report of the FLOSSCom project are as follows: • To analyze and evaluate the differences between Free / Libre Open Source Software (FLOSS) communities as informal learning environments and on the other side formal educational settings • Point out ways on transferring those FLOSS principles to formal educational settings • Look at existing examples of eLearning delivery and examine why these do not provide the types of constructivist learning environments observed in FLOSS communities. • Provide examples of formal educational environments similar to FLOSS communities that would be further addressed at the FLOSSCom Phase 3 “FLOSS-like education transfer report”.
