Hi, I discovered and tested in Sugar the application "Openallure for Learning" ( http://code.google.com/p/open-allure-ds/ and http://openallureds.ning.com/ ), a "voice and vision enabled educational software" writen in Python.
As a Python application, it's multiplatform (Linux, Mac, Win). I got it running in Ubuntu (after adding a few (22) dependencies) and on a XO 1.5 running Sugar 0.90.1 (after adding python-config-obj and python-nltk). Thanks to its scriptable conception, it let's for example a teacher design an interactive dialog (consisting a set of questions displayed on screen and voice-synthetized per text-to-speech) and of answers made by the student by pointing with the finger the line corresponding to the selection, as captured by the camera. It's certainly worth to experiment with the interactivity offered by the Openallure application and I am sure that there is room for designing powerfull extensions. It worked here in Sugar (0.90) from the command line. I tried as well to sugarize this activity (following the instructions in http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Running_Linux_Applications_Under_Sugar ), however, I didnt manage to have a better user experience, compared to the native application. Kind regards, Samy _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel
