These links:

http://cnxconsortium.org/
http://plone.org/
http://www.rice.edu/
might provide you with some idea about the commitment of rice.edu to -- not
only to FLOSS, but also to open standards, non-proprietary file formats,
etc., and "open curriculum" type stuff, -- and, that last list item is meant
to refer to a situation whereby the learning materials, like the text books
(or, e- "substitutes", thereof!) are, like, GPL'd or GFDL'd, or something
like that.
best wishes, wherever you go!
