| The project's goal is to make it easier for organisations and users to adopt Ubuntu and reduce the current attrition rate for new users through better awareness and community education. | == Ubuntu Educators == 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. |

| We intend to do this by working with existing teams such as the classroom team, MOTU Team, Bug Squad, Doc Team, Desktop Training, and LoCo's to build and maintain an interactive learning environment(s) to support teaching all aspects of the Ubuntu Ecosystem that will allow the community to undertake self paced and instructor lead teaching in conjunction with IRC based training, question times, challenges, and other interactive teaching methods. | * [[https://launchpad.net/~ubuntueducators|Launchpad team]] * [[http://ubuntuedu.ning.com|Ning Community]] * [[http://learn.ufbt.net| Moodle Server]] for course development |

| The intention of this program is to avoid competition in terms of qualification with the existing official training program, and supplement existing community programs. This content 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 teaching work already being done by several groups (mentioned above) and provide it all in one place. | == Course Material Writing == |

| 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, to the Classroom Team and to Physical LoCo Classrooms. Our proposed course programs can be found in the sections below. | If you are interested in writing course material, check out the Ubuntu Learning Materials project: |

The community training will be a continual process which is why we are marking the development in stages. We are also preparing a program for learning how to use Moodle and teach Ubuntu. 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: ||<tablestyle="width: 100%; text-align: center">[[Learning/UbuntuDesktopTopics|{{attachment:desktop.png}}]]||[[Learning/SystemAdminTopics|{{attachment:systems-admin.png}}]]|| ||[[Learning/DeveloperTopics|{{attachment:develop.png}}]]||[[Learning/AdvocateTopics|{{attachment:advocate.png}}]]|| ||<-2> [[Learning/TeachingTopics|{{attachment:teach.png}}]]|| '''NOTE: A launchpad account is required to register for the wiki to be able to add your suggestions''' 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. |
