I am also trying to create a e learning solution based on Linux. I have tested edubuntu i with moodle and what I can say it is fine. latest edubuntu also comes with a feature called Linux terminal Server Project(LTSP) which allows other slow computers to act as clients for the main server. the feature is a great. Contact me for more details. eLearning's is still in its infancy in Kenya. when a school buys a couple of computers ,they say it is elearning. What is needed is actually making the current curriculum into digital format which others have started like MSINGIPACK. I am also trying to do the same.

At the school in question, they presented me some Microsoft Encarta software, software that required (for some reason) Microsoft office to be installed, and they claimed that *this* was E-Learning. In the community I've been in, E-Learning has been tossed around a lot as a magic word, relating to the government and computers in the educational system. I tried installing this software in Wine, and not surprisingly failed. Looking at the e-learning website (I guess it's their website?): <a href="http://www.elearning-africa.com/" target="_blank">http://www.elearning-africa.com/</a> you can see that Microsoft is one of the "Silver Sponsors." I'll probably have to do more research to find out what exactly E-Learning is, but I guess I was wondering if any other Ubuntu users have heard of, or understood E-Learning... especially in the context of Ubuntu.
