Hello,

I would like to invite you to my master-colloquium titled

"Sugar -  Not necessarily unhealthy. An examination of the XO used in
primary schools."

The colloquium will take place on September 25th at 14 hrs in Room 8100 of
the MZH.

Please get an impression about the topic with the following abstract:

Since their foundation in 2005, the One Laptop Per Child project aims to
equip children in developing nations with a low cost, robust and connected
laptop, provided with a newly developed user interface called Sugar, to
support their education through creative and collaborative activities.
Several schools around the world already received their laptops and reported
primarily a positive feedback. According to this, the application of such an
interface could also support children in industrial nations, where the
digital divide can be high as well.
Subject of the thesis was the identification of the pros and cons of the
Sugar-interface in respect to usability, while handled by primary school
children. But since Sugar was especially developed for the OLPC project and
is accordingly a relatively new interface, it was first heuristically
compared with an already established GUI to get an insight into its
structure and features. Finally an usability test was performed with seven
children and the results were analysed by means of defined usability
criteria. 

Information about the OLPC Project can be found on their homepage and their
