That's a great overview David, We need to get working quickly on developing course materials. Our two full-time educators, Kamana and Sunil, currently write out lesson plans and activity descriptions in MS Word. Not quite ideal :) I want to get them using Moodle asap. It will improve collaboration b/w the developers and educators. Also, we are currently storing supplementary materials on the fileserver, which is again a pretty lousy way to do it. Kamana and Sunil want to lay out a whole course, i.e., class2 mathematics with descriptions of activities and exercises they want developed, and then help the developers build activities that meet their ideas. Eventually I want to put the courses on a public server (if I had the hosting budget) so volunteers can more easily create activities to meet the ideas dreamt up by Sunil and Kamana.

What was the resource consumption of Jolongo on your eeePC? Perhaps an interim option as we wait for the offline clients to mature is to write a shell script that harvests the static html and embedded activities like Flash and Etoys to an .xo bundle.

However, the Jolongo project, with its reliance on Adobe AIR might be both lighter and more portable, as well as easier to install. That said, the OU version will be using sqlite, so that could even things out. Giving it a couple of months will allow us to see which one of these projects is the best adapted to usage by OLE and olpc. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
