Meteor.js Course-Organization-Platform: A tool to build up and organize local communities – Open education for real.

Openki

Platform for open education – Free software built with Meteor.js

An interactive web-platform to provide barrier-free access to education for everyone. It is a simple to use open-source tool for local, self-organized knowledge-exchange: As a foundation for mediating non-commercial education opportunities, as interface between people who are interested in similar subjects, and as an instrument which simplifies the organization of “peer-to-peer” sharing of knowledge.

Beside the longterm public installations, Openki can be used at unconferences, BarCamps as well as in democratic schools and participatory festivals.
