HowTos for teaching and learning
Contents
All the Debian packages on this page can be installed by running either aptitude install <package> or apt-get install <package> (as root).
Moodle
Moodle is a free, Open Source course management system - software designed using sound pedagogical principles to help educators create effective online learning communities. You can download and use it on any computer you have handy (including webhosts), yet it can scale from a single-teacher site to a University with 200,000 students. Some schools in France use Moodle to keep track of students' facilities and credit points.
There are moodle sites all over the world, mostly concentrated in Europe and North America. Check the site of an institution near you to get an idea about it. More information is available at the moodle project page, including documentation and support.
Teaching Prolog
SWI-Prolog is an open source implementation of the programming language Prolog, commonly used for teaching and semantic web applications.
Monitoring pupils
Some schools use control tools like Controlaula or iTALC to supervise their students. See also the iTALC Wiki (and the documentation in bug 511387).
