The objectives of QualiPSo training courses are to promote and encourage uptake of the emerging QualiPSo results helping the potential target groups to better understand and exploit the methodological and technological aspects, the tools and the overall environment defined and developed, and the knowledge in terms of best-practices, business models, experience gained in the project scenarios development and more in general in the adoption of OSS.

According with this view, training is orthogonal to the activities performed in Qualipso and, then, the courses presented in this section of the web site can be classified as follows:

  • Concepts and Models: this category includes courses explaining basic concepts related to OSS
  • Methodologies: Courses belonging to this category describe methodologies to be applied for effective use of OSS or more in general to actualize the basic concepts
  • Technical: technical courses are related to technical content that is directly related to Qualipso outcomes (e.g. tools, design, etc) or that is exploit to achieve Qualipso objectives

The following table summarizes relations between published courses and categories.

Category Courses
Concepts and Models Organizational Interoperability (OI),CMM-like Model for OSS
 (OMM), Qualipso Project
Methodologies Interoperability Testing (IT), Technical Interoperability State of the Art (TI-SOTA), Open Source Software testing techniques and approaches (OSST-TA),QualiPSo Interoperability Testing Guidelines, Cross-Forge Project Migration-Proof of concept
Technical Technical Interoperability Hands On (TIHO), Semantic Navigator (SN), Semantic Search (SS), Conceptual Search (CS), Qualipso Factory Server and UI (QFSUI), A5 toolset and tools integration with Spago4Q, Spago4Q

The proposed courses are intended to be enjoined by beginners target groups that have a basic experience in OSS and ICT in general. In any case it is possible to identify two types of target groups:

  • Conceptual level: more interested in understanding the overall problems and potential solutions (they will enjoy concepts, models, and methodologies related courses)
  • Technical level: interested in more in depth understanding of Qualipso results (they will enjoy Methodologies and Technical Courses).

The courses are self-contained and they are provided in a document like style (versus a presentation like style) so they do not require a presenter to be enjoyed. The following links refer to the web pages presenting the specific courses that are provided in SCORM format to be delivered using any platform SCORM compliant.
