The document discusses open source software in education and the role of rSmart in supporting open source adoption. It notes that while open source offers benefits like cost efficiency and flexibility, a key barrier to adoption is the lack of support and sustainability concerns. rSmart aims to address this by providing professional support and services for open source products like Sakai and Kuali, to enable colleges and universities to consume them reliably like traditional software. rSmart's value proposition includes outstanding open source products, community innovation, open source freedom and safety, and commercial support services.
Sandra Schaffert: Open Educational Resources as Facilitators of Open Educatio...Sandra Schön (aka Schoen)
In the last few years Open Educational Resources (OER) have gained much attention. Experts who understand OER as a means of leveraging educational practices and outcomes define OER based on the following core attributes: the content is provided free of charge and liberally licensed for re-use in educational activities, the content should ideally be designed for easy re-use, open content standards and formats are being employed, and software is used for which the source code is available (i.e. Open Source software). From January 2006 to December 2007 Open e-Learning Content Observatory Services (OLCOS), a project co-funded by the European Commission under the eLearning Programme, explored how OER can make a difference in teaching and learning. The project aimed at promoting OER through different activities and products such as a European OER roadmap and OER tutorials. We present some results of the roadmap which provides an overview of the OER landscape and describes possible pathways towards a higher level of production, sharing and usage of OER. The roadmap emphasises that the knowledge society demands competencies and skills that require innovative educational practices based on open sharing and evaluation of ideas, fostering of creativity, and teamwork among the learners. Moreover, the roadmap provides recommendations on required measures and actions to support decision making at the level of educational policy and institutions.

Gender, tenure and community forests in Uganda and Nicaragua CIFOR-ICRAF
In Uganda and Nicaragua, as in many countries, women are still shut out of forestry decisions at all levels – despite everyone agreeing that women’s participation is important. How can we ensure that gender mainstreaming is ‘process-oriented’ rather than merely ‘ticking boxes’? This presentation focuses on a project in Uganda and Nicaragua aimed at improving women's participation.
CIFOR scientist Anne Larson gave this presentation on 20 June 2012 at a Rio+20 side event titled ‘Linking policy, practice and research for gender-responsive change in forestry’. The side event aimed to promote discussion and the exchange of ideas on concrete ways to address gender inequalities at different governance levels in forestry research and practice, and the risks and opportunities associated with different strategies and choice of partners.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
