[opensuse-edu] linux for education portal
Hi there, We've just launched a pretty decent start for a linux for education portal that should contain hundreds (we already have about 50) totally creative commons or similar free license courses that can be used online directly (guest access to all courses) or downloaded to export into one's own e-learning platform (backups are moodle based.) The site contains howtos, forums, wikipedias and chatrooms, as well as the traditional Moodle courses on a wide array of subjects across the board. It is totally free, and will remain that way both in terms of beer and ideology. We encourage people to take part in it. It is really not too hard to take an existing howto or wiki entry or something and turn it into an interactive course. There are plenty of examples, and there are also courses on Moodle itself and why one should use it. Currently it may seem quite opensuse-centric, but we are working hard to make it as generic to linux as possible as we have noticed that there isn't really such a comprehensive resource out there on this subject matter. We appreciate all help, so please drop us a line if you would like to get involved in any way at all. peace, David (nubae) Van Assche -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-edu+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-edu+help@opensuse.org
And I forgot the actual address of the site of course: www.linux-for-education.org On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 9:42 PM, David Van Assche<dvanassche@gmail.com> wrote:

It is, but he has been working my butt off adding content :) How do I get roped into these things? All I wanted to know was how to get a login :) We do need to get some mods done to the server to allow for larger content files. I've had to hold off on importing some until it gets corrected. Hope you had a good trip back! (from SELF). Good getting a chance to meet you. On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 3:50 PM, Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier<jzb@zonker.net> wrote:

^^ Thats Nubaes part - he's our hero (aehm: moodle-admin ;-) in this area. I like to thank him again for all his effort in Sugar and now even on moodle!
We do need to get some mods done to the server to allow for larger content files. I've had to hold off on importing some until it gets corrected.
Increased the max. upload filesize to 256M - hope that solves it at the moment. I'll fine-tune the server settings today, so we're using the new domain as "one and only" domain. The opensuse-education.org/moodle directory will be a simple redirect in a few hours. If you see any technical problems, feel free to contact me directly (via mail or 'kl_eisbaer' on IRC).
