I have been following the developments in Linux-based education for some time now, but mostly out of curiosity. But now I have a more immediate need and interest, and am trying to find out a bit more about the "state of the art" in education packages specifically geared to teach traditional core (and enrichment as well, really) subjects in a self-learning, individually-paced environment. More specifically, I am trying to find the best choices, if they yet exist, for packages that not only meet those requirements, but also include, or are tied in, to a way for a parent to set assignments and measure progress. I have already d/l'ed several packages from the repository. Many of them are quite remarkable, but tend to assume a basic proficiency plus a willingness to RTFM in order to operate the package. The RTFM part is not an obstacle in our case, but I am trying to assist a bright, spatially- and video-game-oriented mid-teen who has the natural curiosity (plus a few Linux admin skills already). I realize that this is a bit different than the average post here, but I have already decided to base my efforts around an openSUSE platform, and hopefully, with open source s/w from the repository. I'd be interested in any information or comments on trying to go in this direction. -- dang dan stop goodman atsign coat stop com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org
