Oscelot Introduction
OSCELOT outgrew the Blackboard Open Source bunch framed in Spring 2002 with an end goal to help the sharing of data and assets among individuals inspired by the turn of events and utilization of Blackboard’s Building Blocks programming.
It was immediately understood that these people shared more for all intents and purpose than the utilization of a solitary item. They were chipping away at answers for issues every day across the e-Learning people group.
There was a powerful urge to grow the gathering to incorporate anybody intrigued by innovation improved learning, paying little heed to the stage utilized. Along these lines, OCELOT was brought into the world as the Open Source Community for Educational Learning Objects and Tools. It was officially consolidated as a nonbenefit association in October 2007.
What does Oscelot do?
