We've been using Moodle for a while in Nepal.  You can ask for advice
to Bryan Berry, CTO of OLE Nepal, and David Van Assche, a volunteer
with strong Moodle background.

My experience with Moodle is limited to installing and hosting a
public instance on my server in Italy so that David could start
working on it before he could get to Kathmandu.

Our plans were twofold:

 - integrate Moodle with Sugar by making activities available as
   downloadable lesson plans (easier);

 - make Moodle's ordinary lesson plans downloadable and usable
   offline on the laptop (harder);

Let me know.  If there's common interest in doing one of these things
across different deployments, we'd better team up and share the
workload.  Sugar Labs can also offer online collaboration infrastructure.
