e-Learning for Development: a model
Beginning with a very brief case study of a free e-learning for development project, the Campus for Peace of the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, this paper reflects on e-learning can solve most of the problems related to corporate training, education for development and e-advocacy for stakeholders.
This paper is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the free software movement and their point of view point that software should be free- free, as in free speech, not as in free beer- and have no owners. The second part deals with the free content movement-not that it really holds this name - and the proliferation of licenses such Creative Commonss that allow people and institutions use some contents for free under certain conditions. The third part introduces the concept of online volunteer, its profile, and the main task he or she can hold, being the most knowledge intensive ones those that best fit this profile.
In the concluding section, the paper proposes a free e-learning project model for non-profits.
