Webinar ”Open Education e Software Libero: convergenze e contaminazioni” (6 Marzo 2026 15:00)
by Fabio Nascimbeni March 2, 2026

March 2, 2026

Organizzato dalla rete Open Education Italia <https://openeducationitalia.it/> nell’ambito dell’Open Education Week 2026 <https://oeweek.oeglobal.org/>. Nella prima parte del webinar Jonathan Poritz, accademico alternativo da sempre attivo nel mondo Open, esplorerà i punti di contatto tra i movimenti Open Education e Software Libero e cercherà di trarre qualche lezione utile per promuovere approcci Open nei sistemi educativi, in Italia e oltre. Nella seconda parte, Italo Vignoli rifletterà su come l’utilizzo di software open come Libre Office possa rappresentare non solo una soluzione pratica a molti dei problemi tecnici e legali ai quali troppo spesso non si pensa, ma anche una presa di posizione che può contribuire a cambiare la mentalità di chi opera nella scuola e nell’università italiana.
