<br type="attribution">Hi,<br>
<br>
I discovered and tested in Sugar the application "Openallure for<br>
Learning" ( <a href="http://code.google.com/p/open-allure-ds/" target="_blank">http://code.google.com/p/open-allure-ds/</a> and<br>
<a href="http://openallureds.ning.com/" target="_blank">http://openallureds.ning.com/</a> ),<br>
a "voice and vision enabled educational software" writen in Python.<br>
<br>
As a Python application, it's multiplatform (Linux, Mac, Win). I got it<br>
running in Ubuntu (after adding a few (22) dependencies) and on a XO 1.5<br>
running Sugar 0.90.1 (after adding python-config-obj and python-nltk).<br>
<br>
Thanks to its scriptable conception, it let's for example a teacher<br>
design an interactive dialog (consisting a set of questions displayed on<br>
screen and voice-synthetized per text-to-speech) and of answers made by<br>
the student by pointing with the finger the line corresponding to the<br>
selection, as captured by the camera.<br>
<br>
It's certainly worth to experiment with the interactivity offered by the<br>
Openallure application and I am sure that there is room for designing<br>
powerfull extensions.<br>
<br>
It worked here in Sugar (0.90) from the command line. I tried as well to<br>
sugarize this activity (following the instructions in<br>
<a href="http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Running_Linux_Applications_Under_Sugar" target="_blank">http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Running_Linux_Applications_Under_Sugar</a> ),<br>
however, I didnt manage to have a better user experience, compared to<br>
the native application.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
Samy<br>
