Server
In order to operate, the open source domain relies on a server hosted by CrossLab at the Willem de Kooning Academie. This server is configured to be both accessible on a Local Area Network for the workstations at the CrossLab, as well as publicly via HRONET. Please note that this setup is not new, it has been approved in 2008 for the needs of the CrossLab programme. This system is being now re-purposed for the open source domain.
Currently the server runs the server edition of Ubuntu GNU/Linux, however it might migrate to Debian GNU/Linux in the future. The machine and the software running on it are maintained and carefully monitored by Brigit Lichtenegger, instructor at the CrossLab and system administrator at the Piet Zwart Institute.
Current use:
- A wiki, that is a collaborative browser based authoring plaftform that allow its users to add, remove and modify content. This wiki is used by the open source domain staff to draft and plan the curriculum and vision of the specialisations open design, digital craft and data design.
Expected use:
- A wiki, same as the above, with detailed information about the choice modules and courses in English.
- A blog, to publish edited content such as news and student project highlights.
- An etherpad, that is another form of text based collaborative platform that will be used by students
- A mailing list, to provide an internal and bi-directional communication channel between staff and students for the daily organisation of the courses.
Open Educational Resources
"Open Educational Resources (OER) are freely accessible, usually openly licensed documents and media that are useful for teaching, learning, educational, assessment and research purposes." (source: Wikipedia)
The open source domain aims at contributing to the growing international academic movement revolving around the creation and publishing of OER. For that reason the content of the wiki and the blog will be made available under a set of free culture licenses: GPL for software, CC-BY-SA and CC0 for texts and other media such as sound, static and moving images.
