OSC is based on the open-source practice of creating products or software that opens up access to source materials or codes.
OSC repositories such as Wikiversity,[1] Curriki – Global Learning & Education Community, MIT OpenCourseWare and Connexions are one way in which the concept of open-source curriculum is being explored.
[2][3] With these online repositories, a curriculum framework for a particular course is created by an instructional designer or author in conjunction with content experts.
Moreover, the FTA partners together with several other institutions have started a Taskforce for the collaborative design of an International Master Programme in Free Software.
