[OSGeo-Edu] Moodle/Content Management System discussion

[maria.brovelli at diiar-topo.polimi.it]

Ciao!
at this point I'm a bit confused.

Just to summarize. At the moment three processes are working:

1) collecting people and material
2) collecting people for a new book
3) collecting people for a new course

In the first case, if people already have educational stuff and we  
suppose that the list of material is going to grow up, we need to  
manage them via metadata. Anyway we can wait and see. At the moment  
the content inventory is not so populated...

2) what are the characteristics of this new book, please? It is just a  
theoretical one, there are exercises and tutorials? I didn't see the  
spanish one and therefore I don't know if I agree with its setting  
(Victor can we have a look at it, pleaase)...

3) also in this case, we need to agree on the content and the  
characteristics of the courses. Many people in the list are teacher  
and therefore can help in preparing material that has also been tested  
with their students.

Concluding. Point 1  is clear,point 2 and 3 need to be discussed. My  
suggestion is to collect before all the stuffs we have and then  
proceed to point 2 and 3.
Cheers. maria
