EduCOSS aims its activities at consulting schools in relation to usage of open source software. EduCOSS collects and distributes information about OS projects in the fields of teaching and education. EduCOSS provides a forum for organizations working in the field of education to compare and exchange information about actors (e.g. solution providers) in the field. The research group of EduCOSS develops custom open-source-based ICT solutions together in collaboration with schools. It also evaluates economic and educational views of the deployments.
EduCOSS is coordinated by Elias Aarnio, elias.aarnio@coss.fi
Current trends and news of education and Open Source are the subject of EduCOSS-blog (in Finnish): http://educoss.blogspot.com/
Beginning 10/2008 EduCOSS is a joint project with Avoimet Verkostot Oppimiseen project funded by European Social Fund.
