About raptnrent: I got the name from my keys - R Apt and R Ent for the back door to my apartment and the back door to the house.

The word free came up in a couple links in this week’s COPALI module, and I’d like to think through it a little bit. One is in the Open educational resources competency framework OER from UNESCO: D1.3.1 Identify the “5 … Continue reading
