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.

The work of the past half year - also thanks to the open movie project "Big Buck Bunny" - has resulted in a greatly improved feature set, now released as Blender 2.46, the "Bunny release"!
