Information Infrastructure for Open Source School

Ampache: Streaming audio and video. Accessible anywhere there’s access to the web, presuming you’re not using iOS (wifi only). Great for recorded books, guided notes, lectures, etc.

Calibre: Etext repository as a headless server. Use the free Calibre client (multiplatform) to convert from epub to pdf etc. Great for refactoring text for students with diverse learning styles.

IEP-IPP: Open source, customizeable IEP collaboration and composition tool; IEP management.

Turnkey Linux’s StatusNet appliance: Microblogging for your institution. Excellent for working on precision, concision, and writing for an authentic audience.

Mahara: Open source porfolio management and social networking. Perfect for IEP preparation, portfolio grading. And again, outstanding for authentic assessment. Integrates seemlessly with Moodle.

Stay tuned: More after the commute. Meantime, ask if you have questions.
