Open Source Software (OSS) is central to Trinity College's educational
objectives. Use of OSS has given us the freedom and the flexibility to
emphasize the teaching of basic principles rather than training on
particular software packages.
|
| This paper covers the history, trials and successes
of Trinity's initial OSS rollout. It also describes some more
philosophical points on the choice of software. It is a pigeon pair to
Tim Bell's other paper tomorrow which gives an in-depth description of
issues relating to setting up a Linux teaching lab.
|
| This talk is based on a paper coauthored with
Richard Wraith, Director of Information Technology and Telecommunications
at Trinity College, and was previously presented by Richard at ACEC2002 in
Hobart.
