Hi David,<br> Just out of curiosity, why do you think Moodle is not the answer?<br><br>Kind Regards,<br>David Van Assche<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/7/6 David Leeming <<a href="mailto:leeming@pipolfastaem.gov.sb">leeming@pipolfastaem.gov.sb</a>>:<br>

<p>Is there any CMS built into the XS, or is this up to us to
install (i.e. Moodle or whatever)? </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have for some time been thinking of the Wikieducator as a
tool to scale up local content development for the XO. It has an IMS export
facility and I have tested this; one can create "collections" (collected
wiki content) and export them as PDF or IMS packages. The IMS packages can be extracted
to the /var/www/html folder of the XS and the XOs view them just fine –
although there is no cross linkage between html files. The collection I tried was
750KB as a PDF but only 62KB as an IMS package – so it is obviously much
more efficient than using PDF files.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With OLPC Oceania we are toying with the idea of using the
Wikieducator as a core tool to build community and resulting capacity/sharing
of skills, as a massively scalable repository for Oceania content, that
can be adapted, translated, pick and mixed, etc... and published for the XO
with a few clicks of the mouse... </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I am involved with both OLPC Oceania and the Learning4Content
(Wikieducator) workshops of COL, and can see that by linking these programmes
one can bring together a range of government, NGO and wider community around a
common focus, to the advantage of all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>But some sort of CMS is needed on the XS. All the time one
has to think of simplicity. Moodle etc might not be the answer. I am sure
that plenty of thought has gone in to that – some pointers to that would
be appreciated. </p>
