The Usual Suspects

Starting Blogging !

This is the first of hopefully a regular series of blogs from the developers behind Connexions.

Connexions

Connexions provides free (beer and speech) educational resources to students and teachers around the world. It has developed over ten years a eco-system of authoring tools, repository and means to serve the textbooks, exercises, snippets of knowledge to 2 million people a month.

And they are building a major update of that code.

And its all Open Source - and being developed right in front of your eyes. (Mail us if you want to join in.)

And thats what we are doing here ...

The plan

I am hoping we can link to the specs, and have the developers involved in each component post about their updates or changes on a regular basis.

We shall see, as the old man said.

  1. For children, diversity needs to be real and not merely relegated to learning the names of the usual suspects during Black History Month or enjoying south-of-the-border cuisine on Cinco de Mayo. It means talking to and spending time with kids not like them so that they may discover those kids are in fact just like them.
