 El objetivo del presente llamado es la adquisición de una Plataforma de
 gestión educativa en base online que facilite la labor docente
  en su actividad cotidiana, permitiéndole una comprensión integral del
 proceso de aprendizaje de sus alumnos y brindándole herramientas para
 impulsar el mejor desempeño de los mismos. A su vez se solicita la

 Objective
 The purpose of this appeal is the acquisition of an online education
 management platform  to facilitate teachers in their daily activities,
 enabling a comprehensive understanding of the learning process of their
 students and providing tools to drive their best performance. At the same
 time we request the presentation of digital educational content to enrich
 the connection of children to learning and serve as support material for
 the task of teachers and educators in Uruguay.

 Time line to apply and deliver?

 I have not penetrated the legalese far enough to understand when they
 expect delivery.

 Specific deliverables, etc?

 Yes.

 Might be able to build an RIT team around it.

 I am talking to other organizations with an interest in such things. More
 when I know more.

Hola, Christoph:

No soy experto en Licitaciones, ni tampoco en Plataformas
Educativas, en lo único que te puedo ayudar es en pasarte un
pequeño resumen de lo que pide dicha licitación.

De las 59 páginas de la Licitación

 http://ceibal.org.uy/docs/Licitacion-152-2011-Pliego-%20Condiciones-Plataforma.pdf
te lo acorté a 12 páginas (es el pdf que puse como attach a
 éste
e-mail). Le borré 47 páginas que estaban llenas de bla bla de
agogados.


 Paolo,

 te agradezco mucho para esta version, ahora fue mucho más facil
 encontrar los aspectos relevantes.

 Tampoco sé mucho de este tipo de licitaciones pero lo que si me
 parece
 interesante - en especial en comparación con la licitación de
 Rwanda
 que parece haber sido parecido en su enfoque - que la describción en
 la sección de los contenidos educativos esta bastante amplio. Si lo
 entiendo bien en Rwanda habían requisitos de certificación segun un
 estandard educativo pero no veo nada de esto en esta licitación
 uruguaya.

 En todo caso será interesante ver los resultados de este proceso...
 :-)

 Saludos,
 Christoph

Thanks so much for the translation, I had been working on an English summary
as well but got distracted by 4 days of traveling;-)

Personally I won't have the capacity to really work on this front,
particularly since OLPC (Austria) is currently also applying for two grants
and as always the paperwork takes much longer than anticipated.

However I'm available for bouncing off ideas and reviewing drafts or whatnot
if someone such as Stephen takes the lead here.

Cheers,
Christoph

[IAEP] [butialo] new activity for programming and robotic learning

2011-06-27 Thread Andres Aguirre
Hi to everyone.
There's a new activity, I hope that most of you will enjoy, it's
called Butialo (http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4457)
Butialo is a IDE based on PyPy that allows programming the Butiá robot
(http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/)
with Lua. Lua is a very fast, powerfull and easy to use language. The
IDE provides autodetection of the configuration of your Butia robot,
and
provides snippets of code showing how to read sensors and do stuff.
It also could be used without a Butiá robot for a Lua programing IDE.
More info at 
http://www.fing.edu.uy/inco/proyectos/butia/mediawiki/index.php/Butialo
Best regards
