A team for educators and educational support staff that want to produce learning materials that will assist educational institutions to adopt Ubuntu and FOSS applications as part of their technology plan. Our current plan will utilize a Moodle server to develop and publish courses. These courses will mostly be asynchronous, but can be used in a synchronous format as well.

Line 20: Line 24:
Our mission with this project is to create an interactive learning environment based on Moodle to support new users becoming more engaged in the Ubuntu community. Our goal is to take new motivated users and turn them into contributing members of the community. We intend to do this by working with existing teams such as the classroom team, as well as leveraging the work and ongoing training already being done by the MOTU Team, Bug Squad, Doc Team, Desktop Training, and LoCo's to develop an integrated training solution that will allow the community to undertake self paced and instructor lead training in conjunction with IRC based training and question times. This is similar to what most teams already are doing individually but gives more flexibility in providing quality training materials that will assist in learning without requiring as much IRC time. If you are interested in writing course material, check out the Ubuntu Learning Materials project:
Line 22: Line 26:
The intention of this program is to avoid competition with the existing official training program, and supplement existing community training programs. This training will cover some similar topics but will not have any accreditation or certification associated with it, and may eventually act as a feeder into the official components. The information contained is intended to supplement the work already being done by several groups in IRC training to make their programs easier to find, and easier to undertake.

Our initial goal is to provide four programs for the new user, the sysadmin, marketing, and a stream for someone who wants to contribute to Ubuntu. These idea's have been based on new user feedback, requests to the Ubuntu Forums Beginners Team, and to the Classroom Team. Our proposed course programs can be found in the section below.  * Wiki: [[Learning/Materials]]

== Course Creation Process ==

We are currently requesting community input on the four programs we are planning on having at the end of Stage 1. The community training will be a continual process which is why we are marking the development in stages. Please feel free to select an area you are interested in and input training ideas for courses you would like to see in the following programs:

[[Learning/UbuntuDesktopTopics|{{attachment:desktop.png}}]]
[[Learning/SystemAdminTopics|{{attachment:systems-admin.png}}]]
[[Learning/DeveloperTopics|{{attachment:develop.png}}]]
[[Learning/AdvocateTopics|{{attachment:advocate.png}}]]

We are planning on two kinds of materials for a given course. The first is a set of materials which closely follow the lesson topics, including challanges, further information and so on, this is the standard course materials that will be conducted by a trainer. The second part is background materials, information about topics which people will need to understand in order to grasp what they are going to be doing in a lesson. This could be generated information or information already present in the wiki and help documentation and some topics my only require one part.
