Education Project Effort
Idea based on Efforts
Projects Students are working on
[FIXME] : add the projects in progress, to retrieve easely who does what
Education Project ClassRoom
Idea based on Education Courses ...
Todo
( Brainstorming in progress )
- Revamp http://education.openoffice.org
- Make the page static
- Organize the wiki page
- Create new entries : locales ? / tools ? / Success stories ? / Partners ?
- Resources : ask an entry for every school present on the site ? (annually ?)
- QA : define default owner for education project issues
- Be present and visible (please complete the list) :
- PCIE/EDCL : http://www.pcie.tm.fr/
- Recent Issues
1) Installation / Usability
- OpenOffice.org installation , mainly under Microsoft Windows, is problematic ( unique registration, ...etc)
- Installation in a rightless environment
2) Compatibility
Again, with MS Office (examples, precise case, writing of a guide avoiding issues, find the most known of them .. )
3) Maths
- formulas alignments
This is an incredibly well known and important default. Some migrations failed just because of this "detail".
See the sadly well known issue 972 , and referenced in IssueZilla since may 2001 (yes 2001 !) URL : http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=972
4) Unclassified
- Suggestions of amelioration
Maxima
Use Maxima in OpenOffice.org ?
Partial answer : as soon as I'll have the answer to "how interface" OpenOffice.org and Application written in Lisp ( Maxima is written in Lisp ), I promise I'll take the task over.
Update: I got some infos from Eike Rathke and Kendy. Playing with fork() exec() wait() .. stay tuned.
Ericb 12:07, 25 December 2007 (CET)
Suggestion: instead of trying to do this by hand, use the Expect library; an Expect module for OOo would be really useful.
- Success stories
Any positive success story of installation and /or use in your school, interests us.
Initiation to OpenOffice.org use
Be extremely careful is recommended, only the French Eductional system is described below
Which formations could concern OpenOffice.org ?
- type de formation : secondary, profesional formations ? - concerned courses: Maths ? Physics ? ( Other ? )
URL of reference : http://info.sio2.be/calcooo/index.php ( French, sorry )
Plan (translated from French ):
1. Introduction to a Spreadsheet use with OpenOffice.org (mise à jour 07/01/2006) 2. Use of Calc functions (last update 17/01/2006) 3. The alternative with the Spreadsheet (last update 12/01/2006) 4. Create diagrams using OpenOffice.org Calc 5. Improved study of Mathematical diagrams ( last update 16/05/2006) Share your opinion whith this course.
For every part, it could be interesting to define :
The relevant concerned programs
- the plan of the lesson
- the prerequisites of the lesson
- the objectives, well justified in the referential of the program
- the estimated time for the lesson
- Pedagogical notes creation
Target: create pedagogical notes for the existing tools, improving the role of OpenOffice.org :
Every teacher will certainly have a personal way, but to obtain something consistent, it will be to follow a common skeleton, everybody is invited to improve.
Example:
- The pedagogical frame of use: public / level
- prerequisites,
- the place in the progression,
- the time of the sequence..etc
- objectives,
- the place dans le referential of the program,
- limits .. (thanks to improve and complete the list)
- Mutualisation of documents : ADD A LICENSE FOR THE CONTENT
Example of downloadable document with licence
- Suggestions for academical correspondents
- recent the schools using OpenOffice.org ( write a list on the Wiki ? )
- inform people managing / to be aware of the project existence and invite them to join us (Education Project, dev@education.openoffice.org list)
- keep the list of known issues up to date , and define a list of priorities : we need to concentrate our efforts to the correction of such issues ! - participate, if possiblee, to events who can involve OpenOffice.org project in your academy - recent such events - recent existing tools and documents, who bring a value added the pedagogical interest OpenOffice.org to be used ( next step : put them on the site, for download, but define precisely how do that "before" ) - be visible
Regular Events
There are many events where the OpenOffice.org Education Project is represented.
Feel free to add the one you did.
Events 2009
Events 2008
FIXME: add rules for people representing the Education Project
Localisation projects
Below you will find all sub-projects of the main education project.
Those sub-projects are a good place to find :
- resources in your own language,
- documentation related to your educational system
- a good starting point to build a bridge between OOo development and education in your own country.
- that you bring into it !

Projects in progress
Improve the OOo Impress part for TabletPC uses (Ecole Centrale de Nantes)
The team of students of the ECN :
- Guillaume Arfaoui
- Frédéric Gelot
- Olivier Girardot
- Sashi Juganaikloo
- Florent Rouvière
- Pierre-Jean Parot
- Aude Quintana
and the teacher leading this project Morgan Magnin managed (with many help) to add drawing features on the slideshow and sd modules, in order to be able to draw on an impress presentation during the slideshow, changing colors and stroke width easily.
These changes make OpenOffice.org even more relevant to use in a TabletPC environment.
You can find more informations on the project on the blog dedicated to the project (French) TabletPC
Volunteers to revamp the site
- Raphael Bircher
- Nicolas JEUDY
