Summary

The Sugar Users Network (SUN) is an initiative to try to leverage collaborative, contributing, and learning behaviour in Sugar Learning Platform. It is started as the only possible option for connectivity-less Sugar deployments (Peru in particular), but it is also being targeted to the Internet driven environments.

The major purpose is providing technical possibility to:

  • Connect different groups of people - students, educators, contributors, developers to meet needs of all collaborators;
  • Share different types of the content (including the code) and experience in seamless manner.

Overview

The Network consists of different types of parts:

  • Client application that runs on machines of people who take part in the Network;
  • Server that runs either in the Internet (if connectivity is not a problem for clients) or on a school server (that is being synchronized with the Internet, thus, with the rest of school servers).
