Exactly what is the problem that this solution wants to solve? I mean
that is not the teacher who selects from the lessons depending on her
personal lesson plan? (Of course we could provide a default lesson plan
but in the end it is up to the teacher what she wants to teach and in
what order.)
So is it important at all to select from a predetermined date or country
specific grade?
Can it be that I do not understand at all how those lessons would be
used in the classroom? Or is this mega bundle (what bundles a lot of
lessons from different subjects) solves the deployability problem and
creates a selection problem?

Hi all,
I spent some time toying around with Chakra in the past 24 hours. As a
preliminary result I have concluded that we should initially support
two different "views" of the available lessons.
(1) What I call "E-Paath" style (see the attached chakra_epaath_s.jpg)
as it follows E-Paath's current flow in terms of choosing Grade -
Subject - Week before being presented with an overview of the
available lessons.
(2) "List" style (see the attached chakra_list_s.jpg) which is a
simple list of lessons available for that Grade and Subject (of course
one could make it even simpler by listing all lessons for a given
Subject, regardless of Grade)
(Please ignore the lack of reasonable design and color choices in
these screenshots;-)
Now the question is how to generate these Chakras for a given set of
lessons (which are stored in sub-folders)...
In general the issue is that with the currently proposed Karma bundle
layout (http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Karma/Bundle_layout) the only
information we have about a lesson is it's name. This is of course too
little data to create a nice Chakra with Grade and Subject choices.
Subsequently I believe that we should find a way to include some
additional information with lessons.
The way that OLE Nepal currently handles it during E-Paath development
is that lessons are stored in sub-folders named
<Grade>_<Subject>_<Lesson Name>_<Week>
(e.g. 6_English_RajuAndTheWolf_1). Based on that information a support
scripts then builds the Flash menu structure.
Now I was thinking that one approach could be to include some sort of
.info file in each lesson that contains the information. While Subject
probably will be fairly consistent between various countries the Grade
information is highly country-specific and could be put into the
respective .po files for each locale.
What do you think, does that approach make sense? What are other
possible solutions to deal with this?
As always, all comments, feedback and suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Christoph
