About Us

GLI was founded in 2009 to meet the profound need for tested success for learning innovations emerging around the world. Many new solutions are based on free and open source materials and use new ICT (cell phones, laptops) methods in economically strapped nations and regions. The Guide will be a forum for discussing these and other learning solutions.

Richard R. Rowe, Ph.D. is the Founder of Open Learning Exchange (www.ole.org) and Publisher of the Guide. A former Associate Dean at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, he served on the Board of the MIT Press and the Massachusetts State Board of Education. As Director of the Test Development and Research Office of the West African Examinations Council he realized the need for evidence-based solutions to education.

Diane Hendrix is the Editor-in-Chief of the Guide. She is a multimedia producer, editor, videographer, teacher and consultant in writing and media. With an M.A. in Communications from the University of North Carolina, she has produced and written many U.S. public television programs and was a member of the PBS Producers Academy. She has studied and worked in Latin America, Africa, Europe and the Middle East and is now developing materials for best practice in video, blogs and web 2.0 tools to assist students in international education.
