Hello,

Thanks for the response.

Just taking the discussion in perhaps another direction than you anticipated,
it seems that Eliademy (why do modern brand names have to be so awful?) isn't
itself a Free Software platform, which is a shame, and I think that's what
you're acknowledging above. In the various education sectors, there's a big
push to introduce "e-learning" platforms and other cloud-based services, and
there's a lot of unhappiness [1] with many of them.

Yes. You right. This is the reason why the course materials are made platform-independent

and a separate web site is launched for the course materials. I do not see big value to have
the course about Digital Freedom hosted only in one (and non free) platform.

I think the goal shall be to have materials available for as more platforms as it's possible.

And it shall be easily installable. That's the reason I want to publish the course later in Common Cartridge format.

Can't do it right now because the videos for last 2 weeks are not ready as well as quizes.

Ideal distribution for me is to have kind of 1-click install for the course in Moodle and other LMSes.

All the suggestion are welcome. As of now I am aware only about Common Cartridge
format as a common denominator between different platforms.

To give an example of the risks to free and open platforms, Microsoft are in
the process of sewing up the Norwegian higher education sector with their
Office 365 and related offerings, with all the inherent competition, privacy
and control issues that will result. The latter issues are waved away as
paranoia, unbelievably, whereas Microsoft are probably still imposing a
Windows tax at some level or other in the Norwegian education sector, albeit
not now so brazenly (as in the way Microsoft and Intel colluded before their
illegal bundling practices were curtailed, at least in the US).

Anyway, I hope that your course gets a wide distribution on sustainable e-
learning platforms, too. :-)

Which free and open platforms are used currently in Norway in educational section? Moodle, I guess?

Anything else which I can make my course to be compatible with?
