CIS Website For Schools Project

I've been a bit slow in reading all my emails recently, but here is the 
initial offering from the WFS project.

http://www.linuxgazette.com/node/10203

The only problem I have with the news snippet is that the CIS was not 
mentioned in it.  Thanks to Anil for making his comment.

Lesson learned: The CIS Project needs to be visible in the projects it 
undertakes.

Allan.

Re: CIS Website For Schools Project

Hi all,
I checked the CIS website, and there aren't any updates for the ST
Augustiine Girls School project - who is responsible for the site
update?
I want to also add a small project which we are developing here in
Guyana using LTSP, refurbished computers etc - who should I send the
details to?

When the site is updated, I would suggest an email is sent to CIVIC
mailing list about the Burrokeet software development and the use by
St Augustine, with a mxi of what Taran and Anil have written, with
enough 'nationalistic fervour and some pragmatic realities in terms of
Ross' input'
Next, I would strongly suggest working on a decent proposal for
funding which should be just be sent around  - on the CIVIC list, to
the Govt of Trinidad & Tobago for example, one of your banks,
somewhere. Is there a proposal for funding already available?

and basically anywhere else. I am willing to help with this proposal,
but I need to know how much money is needed (not a bottom less pit,
please) for say Anil and others to remain involved and reasonable
stuff.
I could then fluff it up a bit for you guys to check and then market
around. FLOS Caribbean might be a good place for it.

I cannot get involved in development, but maybe testing or something,
so if we show enough 'counterpart' contributions to the project then
it helps. CIVIC mailing list has some interesting lurkers as well, so
you never know where it could end up.

Internet project aimed at primary schools launched

The Ministry of Education, in collaboration with TSTT is implementing an
Internet access project for all Government and Government assisted primary
schools in Trinidad and Tobago.

School principals are advised that TSTT representatives will be visiting
these schools to install a direct telephone line and install an ADSL router
and configure the school's computers.

Principals and pupils are advised that the new telephone line is not to be
used for telephone calls, the Ministry said in a statement yesterday.

Review of Moodle - an open source learning management system

http://business.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=05/05/09/2117200&from=rss
I'm not very familiar with the theory of learning objects as Ross or
Anil are, so I'm hoping this is a "real" learning management system
and not just a catch-phrased system. Would this help at all with
Burrokeet?

Re: Review of Moodle - an open source learning management system

Moodle has been pretty popular  but until recently, Moodle was not SCORM 
compliant. Instead we opted to look at ATutor (http://www.atutor.ca/) 
instead. Now that they have a SCORM module, content packages that are 
created within Burrokeet can be imported into Moodle and displayed. I 
have done some documentation done on how to do that but I have not had 
the time to put it on the Burrokeet site as yet.

Re: Internet project aimed at primary schools launched

ok this is where the CIS Websites for Schools project can now take 
advantage.

Ameena and Shiva, are your schools ready??? :D

also, we should also find out the constraints for this service.  i 
understand that the free dial-up for schools was only during certain 
hours.  will there be similar constraints for the DSL?

CIS lab

Shiva, how about having UWI students work on the lab during the summer 
vacation?  they would benefit by learning about hardware and some LAN 
networking.  i'm thinking this can be done over a couple of weeks.

we should then be able to sort out the equipment we have and then move 
it to other sites.........

i will also need you to be the lead person.  what kind of arrangement 
can we work out?

allan.
