Re: [OLPC New Zealand] OLPC testing summary Auckland 18 August 2012
Thanks for testing the teacher training customisations. This allows us to modify the standard OLPC OS 10.1.3 into something that is similar to our 10.1.3-au series, and is hence compatible with our One Education programme. If you examine the Training Pack files, you'll see that we upgrade Browse, MusicPainter, Scratch and Speak. Other activities are untouched. We install the Adobe Flash Player, although I suspect that performance will be poor on XO-1 hardware. The Favourites view is also changed. See the training.sh file for details on what modifications the Training Pack makes.

Timer seems to work ok. Video low res 2 min ok, playback ok. Video hi not available - on the icon there is an arrow suggesting it will bring up a drop down menu but there does not appear to be one. Measure: starts ok - there is a single channel active, but refresh is such that one sees two overlapping waves - this could be confusing. Gain and time controls appear to work ok. V(t) and FFT seem to be ok. Capture every 30 sec seems ok - trigger does not seem to work. Tab that displays the trace is named ‘sound’ - which is kind of true when it is capturing from a microphone, but it is really voltage and distinguishing this might be important if one is to bring a signal in from a different source through the microphone input.

Great, thanks for the testing at short notice - really helps us increase our confidence that we haven't broken things at this late stage.
