Hey guys, Great meeting last night.
I made a point last night but I just want to reiterate it because it is quite important for us here in Nepal. The regular Moodle and Mediawiki UI's are far too complex for novice computer users. I am specifically thinking of teachers who are very literate but not used to dealing with complex UI's w/ lots of buttons and text. The kids will figure it out but we need to simplify the Moodle and Mediawiki UI's so that teachers feel comfortable w/ them. We want to use Moodle to lay out lesson plans for the teachers. These lesson plans will give the teachers a clear idea of how to use the XO's and activities in the classroom setting. W/out lesson plans many will just go back to their old ways of doing things and not integrate the XO's (and constructivism) into their regular activities. I still think Moodle and mediawiki are the right tools. We just need to make them conform to the Sugar Human Interface Guidelines. I would like to work on this but teacher training starts on Saturday and I am way behind! :) Martin, I believe you mentioned in the meeting yesterday that you will look for k-6 resources for Moodle. I look forward to seeing those. -- Bryan W.
