eWeek.com has a recent article describing Sun Microsystem’s interest in education and the creation of a free-standing project – Global Education Learning Community (GELC). The GELC site is intended to offer access to open source learning resources.
The GELC site offers resources for primary, secondary and university students. I did not find a lot of content when I visited and the site seems presently to be mostly a shell to be populated by participants. So those interested in open source educational content might want to put this site of the list to watch.
