The FLOSS4Edu project looks at challenges such as: * The
absence of Free content in African Schools * The lack of
skills and knowledge to use FLOSS technologies and *
Difficulties in accessing FLOSS resources, given the high
cost of bandwidth and shortage of FLOSS distribution
channels. FLOSS4Edu says it "is particularly interested in
the power of social software for education in Africa and how
wiki technologies can contribute to the development of free
content by Africans for Africa." It seeks to create the
"largest community of educational practioners in Africa
participating in the development of Open Educational
Resources (OER's). It also seeks to have an inclusive process
of involving everyone willing to participate in content
development including teachers, students, professionals,
experts and all."
