==Replacing Textbooks==
==Replacing Textbooks==
Sugar Labs is in the process of setting up a project for [[Replacing Textbooks]] with [http://www.wsis-community.org/pg/groups/14358/open-educational-resources-oer/ Open Education Resources] (OERs), that is, digital e-learning materials under Creative Commons Sharealike licenses.
The XO-1 cost much less than textbooks in developed countries. This has led to the proposal to replace all textbooks with Open Education Resources (OERs), with the aim of both improving education and saving money that could then be applied to such necessities as electricity and Internet for the XOs. [[User:Mokurai|Mokurai]] has started a project at Sugar Labs to do just that. In April 2011 the booki software from FLOSS Manuals went live, and Sugar Labs set up a testing server to prepare the way for rolling out the project, which is to be opened up to all users as soon as we can manage it.
