NodeSchool is OSCCL

How we think of NodeSchool as more than just teaching Node—it's preparing people for "collaborative communityness" so they can join the open source world and help to make it better.

101. The introduction of FLOSS tools in education strengthens the concept of the “community” as a critical stakeholder in the e-learning process. In order to analyze its impact in the context of computer-mediated collaborative learning, we examine it along one specific educational context, namely computer science education and in relation to one distinct type of learning application: collaborative development environments.
