Am actually on travel now but hope to be back. Part 1: Kin Chew will share with us on use of Open source in e-learning.. Title: Learning objects - creating, managing and delivering them using Open Source Software Summary: My talk is about using the Python-based eXe software to create learning objects. These learning objects are all about "chunking" learning materials into short digestible bits of content. Once these learning objects have been created, they can be uploaded to a repository called the DOOR (Digital Open Object Repository). DOOR is a PHP-MySQL software which can be used to keep training materials in the form of learning objects. One advantage of DOOR is that you can tag the learning objects using keywords. These can help you search for learning objects that you need. DOOR can also be integrated with Moodle (also based on PHP-MySQL) which is a very popular learning management system used throughout the world. Part 2: Linux and Open Source Public event (Software Freedom Day) A few of members have actually approached us on initiating a linux and open source (apps) public event this year. So out thoughts is to round up the various groups and collaborate on a public event to promote awareness of Linux and Open Source.. hopefully at some kickass public event. We hope to solicit your ideas and possibly enlist volunteers to help put this event together. I took a quick check and Software Freedom Day may be appropriate as it is a global simulatanous event. http://softwarefreedomday.org/ So.. that's all and hope to see you all there.
