Harvard Open Source Courseware

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the first-educational-post dept.

mpawlo writes "Gnuheter reports that the Berkman Center for Internet and Society releases the H20 courseware software as open source. Two years and 1 million USD are invested in the software so far... The software has been tested at Harvard Law School, but should be suitable for other disciplines than law."

    My school blew nearly $3 million on redesigning my graduating class's ring. My high school. For a graduating class of less than 600 students. My public high school.

    $1 million for a not-so-special piece of software for a major law school seems much less moronic now.

  2. Harvard Law School? by mao+che+minh · · Score: 2, Funny
    Call me a pessimist, but I have serious reservations about using open source in the process of manufacturing more lawyers. I thought we were supposed to be noble?!

    That was a joke, by the way. Kind of.
