Activities/GCompris

Overview

Gcompris with sugar support.

Detailed Description

GCompris and GComprisAdministration activities create the same journal object with application/x-gcompris mimetype. So, when user creates journal object with GComprisAdministration activity, this object will be opened in GCompis activity by default. Use "Open with" context palette option to resume object in GComprisAdministration.

Sharing support

Teacher, in addition to GCompris Administration activity instructions:

Launch new GCompris Administration instance
On tabs Classes/Users and Groups, create users, groups and classes; these settings will be common for all GCompris Administration activity objects
On tab Logins, add groups of users that will be used for this GCompris Administration activity object
On tab Activities, setup list of activities for this GCompris Administration activity object
Share activity
On tab Reports, see joined students' results

Students:

Join shared by teacher GCompris object
on startup, if resumed object is shared by teacher, GCompris will sync settings with teacher's object
After completing GCompris activity, results will be sent to teacher and stored to student's object; later, this object could be opened by GCompris Administration activity to see these results
