CoSN Releases Second Study for K-12 Open Technologies Initiative
,----[ Quote ]
| The second study in the series examines inACCESS program, which has
| placed some 22,000 Linux workstations in language arts classrooms.
| "This creates a one-to-one computing environment for a least part of
| each student's day in participating schools," CoSN said in a prepared
| statement. "In California's Saugus Schools, administrators were able
| to find open-source alternatives to most proprietary enterprise
| applications and systems. In both cases schools had to carefully
| research their transition to open technologies, test applications,
| and then communicate with the end users. According to the
| administrators in charge of these initiatives, the open source
| systems have proven to be reliable, robust and cost-effective."
