Dear Dr, Whatever info I had is from the Net. Sorry I'm not into this deeper. Maybe you could google. I'll copy your message to my friends in FSF-India, who have an active presence in Kerala and might be able to help. Many thanks!

IN TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO: Burrokeet is an open source software project that is building an electronic system for creating Learning Objects. Funded by IBM, Burrokeet's development resides at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago. The Commonwealth of Learning is dedicated to promoting educational and academic improvement throughout the Commonwealth of Nations, especially in the English-speaking developing world. They sponsor a variety of interesting and useful face-to-face conferences and online resources. Their report on a "Virtual University for Small States" is of particular interest. UNESCO's International Institute for Educational Planning has a set of Virtual University resources. http://www.freecurricula.org/links.php [</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>] FROM CAPE TOWN: Centre for Educational Technology, University of Cape Town is online at http://www.cet.uct.ac.za Stephen Marquard <marquard(a)CHED.UCT.AC.ZA> says, "My portfolio is learning technologies, which includes online learning environments. We use (free/libre and) open source software extensively for web-based applications. UCT built an inhouse learning environment (connect) from open source components, including the w-agora discussion engine. Last year we adapted this platform to host an online conference http://emerge2004.net, and released the resulting package under the GPL http://eduforge.org/projects/emergecolab/ We also have a multi-year project to migrate to the open source Sakai Project learning environment http://www.sakaiproject.org, which we're excited about for many reasons, including the Sakai community, interesting tools and applications emerging for Sakai, and of course the cool technology. On the social software side, we have recently started a blog service for a staff development programme (though we expect its application to be much wider) using plog http://www.plogworld.net , and are at various stages of using 4 different wikis for different purposes - swiki, Wikka, mediawiki and a Sakai wiki. We're also interested in eXe for offline content editing. [</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>]o[</>] Copyleft -- verbatim copying, with credits -- allowed/encouraged.
