Informing Science Institute (ISI) is an organization of colleagues helping colleagues. We draw together people who teach, research, and use information technologies to inform clients (regardless of academic discipline) to share their knowledge with others.
The Informing Science Institute Learning Object Repository (ISI LOR) is the newest Open Source LOR created by a team of 5 individuals. We are currently Beta testing the ISI OSLOR on this site.
Please feel free to browse the site. We strongly encourage you to contribute your LOs to this repository.
I applaud Rhee's efforts at reform, particularly with the DC schools, but it appears that she may not recognize or address the influence of parents, the community, and peer groups on human behavior and learning.

This course provides an overview of the historical and modern context and operation of free and open source software (FOSS) communities and associated software projects. The practical objective of the course is to teach students how they can begin to participate in a FOSS project in order to contribute to and improve aspects of the software that they feel are wrong. Students will learn some important FOSS tools and techniques for contributing to projects and how to set up their own FOSS projects.
