<p>If there is an XS, and they register, then their work will be backed up automagically, and accessible through Moodle.</p>
<p>If they lose access to the laptop (ie: laptop's given to someone else), that can be handled with a simple procedure on Moodle -- something an admin can do.</p>
<p>If that's an option, I can write up the Moodle procedure in detail.</p>

Hi all,<div><br></div><div>I just spoke to the teacher of our small Austrian pilot project and we realized that we'll have to find a way to get Journal entries off the pupils' XOs as they'll finish primary school in late June.</div>
<div><br></div><div>They won't have access to the XOs beyond that date and while SoaS is always a possibility I doubt that many of them will continue using Sugar afterwards. As such I'm wondering how we can - or can enable the pupils themselves - to save their work and memories in a way that allows them to use them from a standard Windows, Linux, or OS X computer in the future.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I assume other projects have run into similar situations in the past so I wanted to see what solutions have been used here?</div><div><br></div><div>Off the top of my head I came up with:</div><div><br>
</div><div>(a) Have the pupils copy relevant files they want to keep to USB drives via the Journal or the Sugar commander Activity</div><div>(b) Ask them to favorite things they want to keep in the Journal and then run a script that copies all of these entries to a USB drive or possibly even a network share</div>
<div><br></div><div>Has anyone tried these approaches or am I thinking too complicated here? e.g. would it also be possible to simply backup all the Journal to USB drives or a network share and then give each pupil a copy of their backup? Would they be able to extract files into standard formats?</div>
<div><br></div><div>Any pointers, help, comments, etc. here would be much appreciated.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks,</div><div>Christoph</div><div><div><br></div>-- <br>Christoph Derndorfer<div><br></div><div><div>volunteer, OLPC (Austria) [<a href="http://www.olpc.at/" target="_blank">www.olpc.at</a>]<br>
