| Title: | SchoolTool: Defining Our Niche in the Open Source Architecture of Schools |
| Authors: | Hoffman, Tom |
| Keywords: | school, information system, open source, student |
| Abstract: | A well designed and documented open source
student information system would benefit schools around the
world. A common open infrastructure for student data would
facilitate a new layer of innovation in how data is accessed by
stakeholders, used by complimentary applications, visualized
and interpreted by educators. The utility is clear, yet as of
2005, no such freely available system has emerged. The
relative simplicity of creating small custom systems, combined
with the risk and expense of creating and deploying large
enterprise systems, have worked against the spontaneous
creation of an open source development community for a
student information system. SchoolTool is an ambitious
project funded by the Shuttleworth Foundation which aims to
fill this key niche in the open source architecture of schools. |
