Are there any licensing restrictions on the material? If not, it could be
converted to an XO friendly format (say OOG'ish) and made available via the
internet* (I'd suggest in chapters or short clips) so deployments could
download, evaluate, and distribute if they thought it valuable for their local
community. Is it available online already? Perhaps somewhere like Dailymotion
would be good:
http://www.dailymotion.com/sugarlabs
...as they support XO/Sugar friendly formats.

* I know you're trying to target folks off grid, but making the material
available online would allow others to easily evaluate and distribute it to
their local community themselves.
