Overview Educational Content
This page provides an overview of the Open Educational Resoures (OER) usually included in a Labdoo laptop. You can download all the content described below from the Labdoo FTP service: http://ftp.labdoo.org/download/install-disk/ or find it on a previously cloned Labdoo computer at /home/labdoo/Public/wikis or in the folder /home/labdoo/Public/xowa/wiki.
Links to content in several languages: English, Spanish, French, German/Deutsch, Arabic, Hindi, Bahasa Indonesian, Nepale, Portuguese, Kiswahili/Swahili.
Most educational content was taken from different sources in the web. Depending on the language and size of the disk drive, you will be able to choose and install the best fitting image for cloning.
Preparation
- Create a folder if you haven't, according to the language(s) you need, e.g., /home/labdoo/Public/wikis/EN for English and so on
- Download the index file from and into the language folder you are working on, e.g., /home/labdoo/Public/wikis/EN/index-en.html
- Open this index file in a tab using the browser of your choice, e.g., Firefox, and save the tabs in its settings, so someone can open it and show it to the edoovillage's students when starting the browser.
Download archive(s) and unzip to content folder
- Download and unzip the archive(s) to the folder /Public/wikis/xx (xx = language code, e.g., EN, DE, FR, ES etc.) with the user: Labdoo. You can download the archive(s) you need by right clicking and selecting "Unpack to"
- Unpack and delete the archive once it is unzipped.
- If you run several installations please save the archives on a local server or external USB drive, so you do not have to download each file again every time.
Index file(s) for an easier access
Labdoo prepared an index file for each language. You will find them in each language folder on our FTP server. Copy them to the local language folder on your laptop and the folder "Public".
Due to the amount of content, you have to preselect the content you are about to install and maybe discuss with the school or project partner which content suits best. Another option is to copy the archives to an external device and, after the traveler/dootripper takes it to the school, they can decide in situ which content suits them best.
