Towards A Nation Of Educoders: A Roadmap For Sustainably Broadening And Improving Open Source Educational Software, Doug Holton

Douglas L Holton

The goal of this chapter is to review the history of educational software development and propose specific strategies for expanding the development of educational software that is free, open source, and more effective for learning. These strategies would make it easier for teachers, students, and other non-programmers to modify or design their own educational applications and better educate software programmers about how people learn.
