Want to study without leaving your home for free? Of course its not totally free. You still have to spent on Internet connection and computer time/hardware. No free lunch, right?

Or needing materials for your class whether you’re a student or a teacher…..

Here is the link to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Open Courseware:

MIT Open Courseware

MIT Open Courseware

Of course you won’t get a MIT or OCW certificate or a degree, but you’ll gain additional knowledge. And something that you won’t loose when you share to others. I think this is the principle behind all these open sharing online…. :) So please share this to others…

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

LPI Level 2The International Open Source Network (IOSN) ASEAN +3 Sub-Regional Center based at the University of the Philippines Manila with support from InWent Capacity Building International, Germany, International Research Development Centre (IDRC) and in cooperation with UNDP-Asia-Pacific Development Information Programme (APDIP) will hold from October 1-31, 2007 (e-learning component) and November 5-10, 2007 (face-to-face component), a Linux Training of Trainers for Linux Professionals Insitute (LPI) Level 2 at the University of the Philippines Diliman Interactive Learning Center, Quezon City, Philippines.

“IOSN has conducted Linux Training of Trainers (LTOTs) in four (4) countries in 2006 (Vietnam, Fiji, Thailand, Philippines). These LTOTs prepared the participants to take the LPI Level 1 certification examinations. With more than a hundred participants, the TOT has produced a number of LPI Level 1 certified participants, and some have subsequently shown exceptional ability to train within their own communities as well. Subsequent more refined TOTs were organised by IOSN ASEAN+3 in Bangkok, Manila, and again in Hanoi with technical and financial support from the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) of Canada and InWEnt Capacity Building International, Germany.”

“This action proposes an advanced training program for LPI Level 1 certified trainers and prepares them for the LPI Level 2 certification exam. The action is targeted towards successful trainers from Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam, which will be enabled to obtain further certification in Linux systems administration and to develop material that prepares other LPI-level 1 certified persons to take LPI-level 2 exams.”
