[Sugar-devel] Sharing work across XOs/SOAS
Hello all. As our 5th graders are doing more and more work with their XOs, their being able to turn in and share their work products (as opposed to collaborating with others) is becoming more and more important. My temporary solution is having them upload their work (along with reflections, if desired) to Moodle, which I can do because we have an XS implementation. However, this means that if a student has created a Memorize vocabulary game that s/he want to share s/he has to: 1. Create the game. 2. Save it to the Journal 3. Go to Browse 4. Navigate to Moodle 5. Find the right course/right assignment within the course 6. Upload game. S/he pretty much has to do the same thing to download and then play other games. This is certainly workable, but dramatically slows down the momentum of creating games and wanting others to play them. So, I am asking to create/offering to help create an Activity that allows users to share work products easily. I know that Bert was working on something called Distribute, which may be a starting place. It seems to share Journal objects, which seems right. I am happy to work with developers on this. I could create requirements, if need be. Just say the word. I look forward to what comes next. Thanks and best, Gerald ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Justin, Nice. I am assuming that by downloading, you mean getting the object from another XO/SOAS? When can I have it to test? Thanks.

I am still developing it but it is working right now, hasn't had a lot of testing yet, but it seems to be working right now. Please feel free to check it out and let me know if you have any suggestions or find any bugs. Justin Lewis On Tue, Dec 15, 2009 at 2:14 PM, Gerald Ardito gerald.ard...@gmail.com wrote: Justin, Nice.

Unfortunately not in the case of Memorize (you actually have to 'save to journal', and then 'load from journal' before you can even play your own just created game in the interface)! :-( :-( Simon was interested in re-designing/building this when we worked on the new toolbars (we did some cycles of ideas), but other 0.86 events overtook and Memorize never had it's toolbars updated/reworked. Needs some careful design planning and rework to switch between play and edit mode in a natural, understandable way. Regards, --Gary 3.
