I would also point users to <a href="http://linux-for-education.org">linux-for-education.org</a>, which tries to be a little broader in terms of all the learning materials available, and isn't olpc centric. It does, however, have more olpc/sugar based learning materials than any other moodle install I know of. Having set up the majority of <a href="http://schools.sugarlabs.org">schools.sugarlabs.org</a> and <a href="http://linux-for-education.org">linux-for-education.org</a>, I really think the 2 installs should be mirrors with the same content, to make it easier for content creators to choose where to deploy. Both sites have been neglected for quite a while, the main reason being I am the only one really paying any attention to deploying new learning materials, and I've been off doing other things, for which there seems to be a little more of a spotlight, something necessary, regardless of how selflessly time and energy is given to these projects. Unfortunately, since people don't seem to see the benefit of helping with the creation of documentation style learning materials, this is an uphill battle with no rewards. But we need this stuff, and even if its going to be just me adding content, then so be it, at least there is a place people can go to grab free in the full sense of the word learning materials. The sites (with an emphasis on <a href="http://linux-for-education.org">linux-for-education.org</a>) should be growing quite dramatically soon, due to needing to scratch our own itches (myself and some fellow users are starting up an IT school and are in need of free and open learning materials, so we will have to create what is not already there, ourselves) We will be basing the materials on ECDL and ICDL (European and Internatiohnal computer drivers license) as with that in mind one can get a diploma that is recognised in most places in the world. The ECDL curriculum is quite standardised and visible on its website, but there is still no location where one can download or interactively use the learning materials necessary to finally end up with the suite of diplomas available from ECDL. We hope to change this soon...<div>
