This work was initially started by an International Research and Development Team affiliated with Sugar Labs Perú as part of the Malla Project initiative in order to attend the needs identified during field work on Perú from 2007 to date.

Summary

These are the major goals of Sugar Network:

  • Sharing different kinds of content within the Sugar community, e.g., Sugar Activities, artifacts created by Sugar Activities, books, etc. for friends, a class, parents, teachers, or Sugar Learners anywhere.
  • Productive interaction between content creators and users.
  • Online + offline access to the content for all Sugar Network participants.
  • Support for localized and sustainable *collaborative activities*.

For a more detailed description, see these references:

Sugar Network is a part of the Harmonic Distribution effort and also one of the main components of the Hexoquinasa Pilot Project.
