This is a uniquely interesting site with content for the entire British curriculum that has been put into a format importable in all VLEs, with a concentration on Moodle. They have over 1000 learning objects, all related to their curriculum and available to any school in the UK at no cost. They are doing pilot studies at International schools, but it would be of great interest if someone with some clout from sugar labs could talk to them to see if they wouldnt be willing to share their content... I leave you with their intro below
Funded by the LSC and available free to all authorised organisations in the post-16 sector, the NLN materials represent one of the most substantial and wide-ranging collections of e-learning materials in the UK. The NLN Materials are small, flexible 'bite-sized' episodes of learning. They are not whole courses but are designed to support a wide range of subject and topic areas. The materials adopt a range of approaches involving some knowledge acquisition, a chance to practice and absorb, and some form of assessment to check that the learning has been understood and the learning outcome(s) achieved. The materials give learners things to do and a chance to think for themselves. They are designed to be fun. Learners can make mistakes but can try again. There is plenty of in-built help if they get stuck and opportunities to go back and revise. Many of the materials include games or quizzes. Accessibility options are available on many of the materials to suit learners' individual needs. The materials are also designed to appeal to the different learning styles of your students. The materials were created by commercial developers, in partnership with subject matter experts and a wide range of colleges and adult and community learning experts. All the materials have been trialled by tutors and students and tested for accessibility at the Royal National College of the Blind in Hereford. _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!)
