[IAEP] ICT4D: planning

[Christoph Derndorfer]

Hi Christophe,

this looks like an interesting and ambitious course schedule! :-)

May I ask what the background of these students is expected to be? Also
(and somewhat related): What kind of class projects do you envision the
students to tackle? It would of course be excellent if their work could
fairly directly contribute to what's hapening in the OLPC/Sugar projects
around the world (plus it could also be an additional motivating factor for
the students).

Last but not least: I hadn't realized that there is an ongoing OLPC project
in Suriname. I only remember some blog posts and e-mails from the early
days (maybe 2007~2008?) about some Dutch folks considering such an effort.
Is there further information about the project online somewhere?

Cheers,
Christoph
