[David Van Assche]

This is a uniquely interesting site with content for the entire
British curriculum that has been put into a format importable in all
VLEs, with a concentration on Moodle. They have over 1000 learning
objects, all related to their curriculum and available to any school
in the UK at no cost. They are doing pilot studies at International
schools, but it would be of great interest if someone with some clout
from sugar labs could talk to them to see if they wouldnt be willing
to share their content... I leave you with their intro below

Funded by the LSC and available free to all authorised organisations
in the post-16 sector, the NLN materials represent one of the most
substantial and wide-ranging collections of e-learning materials in
the UK.

The NLN Materials are small, flexible 'bite-sized' episodes of
learning. They are not whole courses but are designed to support a
wide range of subject and topic areas. The materials adopt a range of
approaches involving some knowledge acquisition, a chance to practice
and absorb, and some form of assessment to check that the learning has
been understood and the learning outcome(s) achieved.

The materials give learners things to do and a chance to think for
themselves. They are designed to be fun. Learners can make mistakes
but can try again. There is plenty of in-built help if they get stuck
and opportunities to go back and revise. Many of the materials include
games or quizzes. Accessibility options are available on many of the
materials to suit learners' individual needs. The materials are also
designed to appeal to the different learning styles of your students.

The materials were created by commercial developers, in partnership
with subject matter experts and a wide range of colleges and adult and
community learning experts. All the materials have been trialled by
tutors and students and tested for accessibility at the Royal National
College of the Blind in Hereford.
