摘要：This paper explores open source as a metaphor for e-learning. It builds the case that e-learning
and open source movement are rooted in the constructivist movement and the constructivist
movement is itself rooted in the pragmatism and instrumentalism that pervades John Dewey¡¯s
theories of understanding as applied to learning. As a result, it is recommended that the use of
open source as metaphor for e-learning be further explored in three areas: instructional practices,
instructional platforms, and instructional philosophy.
