Anja Balanskat: In your last Insight Special Report you talked about the use of open source software in European schools.
...
Anja: I guess that you mean that anyone could use any educational content that is defined under "open content".
...
Anja: A licence can tell me that I can reuse a piece of content that I have found.
...
Anja: How do you envisage the sharability and searchability of open content resources taking place?
...
Anja: It is interesting that you mention the quality of learning resources, I was also wondering how could a teacher trust in an open content resource?Is there any guarantee of the quality?
...
Anja: It seems to me that many of the things we've been working here in European Schoolnet could be applicable for open content.
...
Anja: Provided that the issues dealing with multilinguality, national curricula, quality and so on was part of the agenda, how do you envisage Ministries and National Educational Authorities working in an open source way?
...
Anja: Is there any ways to work on this?
...
Anja: Thank you.
