We are launching a print magazine to educate teachers, school administrators and students. The magazine will provide information and training tips for these sets of people to improve their capacity in teaching and managing schools. And improve life skills for students. We are in need of experienced writers and educationalists to contribute original contents to the magazine.
Each article should not be more than 250 words and every information needed about the organization will be provided. "
What is also important, that information from it could be legally downloaded and used later for reference and training even without internet access. This is used for training health care professionals in some African countries. Users can also upload their own medical images to share with colleagues

I began at Code Academy last year, and completed various courses. The problem I had was knowing about the architecture and systems behind the code, so, now I am learning to use Command Line and working through FLOSS manuals. I like Code academy, and I may go back there, but not before I have understood Command Line and more specifically what works with Linux, Ubuntu, Fedora etc The thing is, free software development, open source and education for all, begins with Linux OS and whatever branches from that is free to share, iterate and scalable. The trademark socialist, philosophically opposed to the capitalist.
These are some cool 'motivational' videos about open education - certainly a valuable resource when talking about the subject.
The attached link has the three best ones (I have looked ahead & the third place winner is actually included in module 7), but this playlist (sorry, could not find one in English, but the videos are in English anyway) has a few more: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLgmAVOv3Lv3H1q20GUUg9h2koK6hPq4hk (playlist from Virtual educational library from Lithuania).

Before entering the classroom of an intro-level economics course, students get a real-life experience with the subject - the required textbook costs $290 on Amazon. And that's just one book for one class. Textbook costs have surged 1,500 percent since 1970, according to the Economist magazine.

Artículo escrito por Roger Chartier en el que habla sobre la "la muerte del libro", y como este(el libro) se transforma en una especie de diálogo entre el escritor y el lector.
A mi parecer el libro no desaparecerá, solo que el hábito de lectura no de promueve como debería.
