SELF is an international project aiming to provide a platform for the collaborative sharing and creation of free educational and training materials. It is based on Free Software, which in contrast to proprietary software can freely be used, copied, studied, modified and redistributed. Free Software offers the freedom to learn and to teach without any proprietary barriers – the basic requirement for the self-enabled human in the information society.
