We are putting together teaching/learning resources soon. Here is the WIP site: http://nubae.selfip.com/moodle/ Once done, it will be available here: http://www.opensuse-education.org/moodle/ We are aiming to create education portal that everyone would want to use so putting together courses and content that is very relevant for schools and colleges. Most of the work is done by David(nubae) who I have cc'd. The site will always be free and content made available under permissive licenses.
