==Content==
This version of the Learn activity contains sample of the content which would be available in an installation of the Karma Learning System.
===Class Subjects===
The English, Mathematics, and Science buttons show the first two milestones for Term 1 at École Saint Jacobs in courses for P4, P5, and P6. These milestones were created by the teachers at a workshop held in Nevember and December, 2011.
The Laboratory subject is visible only to staff members. It is set up to enable creation of milestones for Ennglish, Mathematics, Science, and French for Term 3 which begins in September, 2012.
===Explore===
The Explore subject contains courses which provide orientation in the use of the OLPC laptop, Karma Learning System and the preparation of lessons. It also has a course which provides examples of different types of lessons or Learn activities.
The getstarted course has four milestones. Each milestone is a section from the 0.82 version of the Help activity (http://laptop.org/8.2.0/manual/). This illustrates how documentation can be made into Learn activities.
The learn course has three milestones. The first milestone describes the use of the Gnome desktop which may be installed on an XO in recent builds of the software. The next two milestones describe building courses and milestones. Much of this material is not applicable to this version of Learn, but does illustrate how courses can be constructed. These milestones were created using the tools in Learn.
The lesson course has a single milestone with a single activity. This activity launches the ShowNTell activity to show a step-by-step method to create a new activity. This step-by-step is incomplete but illustrates the procedure. When using Learn to launch Sugar activities, there are two important points. First, the activity being launched must be installed. Second, quit the launched activity to return to Learn.
The quiz course has three milestones which describe how to build a question bank using Moodle and how to create quiz activities using these questions.
The library course describes how to use the Library activity to access the school digital library on the school server. This capability is a part of the Karma Learning System and is not available independent of a school server with KLS installed.
The examples course contains many examples showing the range of activities that can be included in a Learn course.
The first milestone gives five examples of lessons prepared by teachers for use in the classroom.
The second milestone shows examples of using a Sugar activity in a lesson. These activities use ShowNTell, Quiz, Memorize, and Turtle Art. The Quiz activity currently uploaded is not set up to work with Learn. A new version with this capability will be uploaded soon. The last activity is one of the British Council stories. These stories and other materials can be included in a KLS installation through arrangements with the British Council.
The templates course is in preparation. It has an example of using wordsearch; however, this depends on a version of the Wordsearch activity which can be resumed from the Journal. This version will be uploaded soon.
The other two activities are examples of using the math.js script in the Karma library. This is also under development but illustrates the possibility of a lesson in mathematics which generates relevant problems for practice and which can show a student the correct procedure to work a problem when the student supplies an incorrect answer.
The last milestone has two activities. The first activity launches the Jukebox activity to show a Khan Academy video. The second milestone provides exercises related to the video. KLS includes an extensive collection of videos and exercises from the Khan Academy which are relevant to typical primary school mathematics courses.

In the first group of the third row, the first tool inserts a horizontal rule. This is used in Learn to identify a screen boundary. In the second group, the first tool selects a superscript mode. The second sets a subscript mode. The tool in the third group allows the insertion of a special character from a table of special characters.
