Open Source enterprise to facilitate University Education
,----[ Quote ]
| The entire university education fraternity is lending their voice about the
| benefits open source enterprise applications will have on students. The day
| is not far where we can see students all over the globe contributing to the
| development of open source and also enriching their pedagogy through a number
| of applications.
|
| The transfer costs for open source applications to juxtapose with the
| curriculum might be exceedingly high, but the return would be beneficial for
| both the parties involved. Important subjects such as financial accounting
| systems, IT applications, etc. can very well be taught on the open source
| which would result in the formation of an online community among its users.
| The ideas developed through these community users could very well be
| implemented in the course curriculum and thus open source applications need
| to be taken seriously.
