NEW DELHI: The Education Forum drew healthy and vigorous debate at the three-day LinuxAsia 2006 convention, the region's premier Open Source conference and expo, which concluded here on Friday.

Different speakers raised successes, best practices, as well as challenges during the deliberations.
The Forum began with a keynote address by Dr. M.S. Vijay Kumar, director of Academic Computing at MIT, and an advisor to the National Knowledge Mission. Dr. Vijay Kumar said the power of Open Source as a collaborative platform was demonstrated by the “Open Courseware” project of MIT, under which a wealth of knowledge in the form of courseware had been made public.
