1. Learning Materials

An important element of the SELF Project is research on available materials and detection of potential gaps. During the search of educational materials on Free Software and Open Standards, hundreds of freely available materials were inspected and classified into different categories and subcategories. This work had a primary value, detecting resources suitable for their inclusion in the SELF Platform after the necessary modifications. As a side effect and added value, the results of the search allowed the identification of dark spots, areas where the coverage of materials published under free licenses is poor or clearly insufficient. Those areas are the main gaps that will be considered for further research of available materials and eventually for the production of new materials inside the SELF Project. In all cases, reported gaps are accompanied with recommendations and guidelines to be considered later during a further search of available materials and the development of new materials inside the SELF Platform.
