I have no idea what kind of funding Plan Ceibal has. I also can't swear that all of the educational materials they've created are available for common use, though I'm assuming they are. It'd definitely be nice to have a base set available though!<div>

<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">What sort of funding does Plan Ceibal have for creating e-learning<br>
materials? Some of us would like to bring all such programs together<br>
to create one base set for all K-12 grade levels and subjects, and<br>
then see about translating and customizing them for each country. The<br>
idea is that XOs cost less than textbooks in many countries, and even<br>
where that isn't the case, the savings on printed textbooks would be<br>
significant.<br>
<br>
Can these health materials be made available to other countries under<br>
a Creative Commons license?<br>
