Karamelo e-Learning Platform

http://trac.chipotle-software.com/karamelo_01.jpg

Karamelo is an e-Learning, Web 2.0 platform which provides both tools and resources to improve the teaching-learning process and create Personal Learning Environments:

a Personal Learning Environment is a facility for an individual to access, aggregate, configure and manipulate digital artifacts of their ongoing learning experiences.

In other words, a PLE is a combination of the formal and informal tools and processes we use to gather information, reflect on it and do something with it, which is essentially what we mean when we talk about learning  1. Karamelo is a  SCORM compliant solution. You can create SCORM content in any authoring tool (Articulate, Camtasia, Captivate and so on).

Teachers can create virtual classrooms and EduBlogs to share and design pedagogical materials knows as EDIs, eCourses,  Webquests, FAQs, Glossaries, Scavenger hunts,  Clozes (aka Gap fillings), upload Podcasts, Tests, all this while keeping in touch with the students and receiving feedback and suggestions about the class and the process.

What is more: the teacher can choose to join the Karamelo Network, Knet(TM) and meet with professors who are teaching the same subjects and collaborate sharing experiences, EDIs and ideas. The teachers in the network can be working in a town nearby or on the other side of the world.

The students can consult and download the materials given by the teachers, create groups to answer the regular and online activities, consult and post comments in the teacher's blog and download MP3 podcasts to hear the class and other materials in their iPods whenever they need to, as many times as they want to.

The parents can consult the materials and get the general class syllabus, among other things. Finally, the school can store the teachers résumes, publish the school year calendar, the rules and regulations and keep in touch with parents using the newsletter.

Karamelo is Web 2.0 application which uses Ajax libraries to manage the information in an intuitive and quick way, it is built using the  CakePHP framework and licensed under the  GPLv3 license. You can configure, personalize and extend Karamelo in a fast and easy way using the MVC framework provided by CakePHP.

Karamelo and OLPC

 Karamelo and  OLPC integration:

Make Karamelo easily installable wherever it needs to be with an OLPC-tailored configuration Tune Karamelo for the platform (shrink the memory footprint for server and client) Implement SSO with whatever facilities Sugar or the OS provides Integrate Karamelo with Sugar where meaningful

Karamelo is developed by  Chipotle Software

We are bakers! ;-)
