Libre Knowledge Resources Development Cycle

The following is a rough sketch/outline describing a typical development cycle for libre learning/knowledge resources.




 * 1) First Find a knowledge/learning resource
 * 2) Then either Share it immediately without change, or use it (i.e. Learn with it):
 * 3) Learn with it "as is", or
 * 4) Compose a learning resource which better suits your need(s):
 * 5) * Perhaps Create something completely new off the top of your head, or
 * 6) * Modify the resource:
 * 7) ** Simply change or enhance it somehow, or
 * 8) ** Adapt it to your needs - e.g. by one or more of the following:
 * 9) *** "Localise" it - e.g. change things like dates and currencies to match local conventions (your "locale")
 * 10) *** Re-contextualise it - e.g. use metaphors which the relevant learner(s) can relate to, or familiar local examples which illustrate a concept rather than foreign, etc.
 * 11) *** Translate it into the local language(s),
 * 12) *** etc., and
 * 13) *** Perhaps combine or mix it with other resources you have composed or found (licenses permitting) (Build).
 * 14) Finally, you might like to Share the result(s) with other learners and educators, adding to the pool of Libre Learning Resources.
