UNESCO Bangkok have produced a nice CD of eLearning resources for schools. It is in the form of 250MB of Flash, Java, Authorware, Quick-time and PowerPoint based files bundled together within an html framework. I thought this would be a good way to put our single B2 (build 406) through it's paces. It took me quite a while to figure out how to access a USB drive - I do hope that it will roll out with hot plug and play. Anyway, the UNESCO "CD" home pages, etc,play fine but the eLearning objects don't - has anyone tried this? I assume that the Flash, Java etc need to be installed. For example, if I try an object that I know to be an swf file, Reader opens but stays blank. If I try a learning object that I know to be a PowerPoint slide show, nothing happens but I can see it appear in the left part of the frame in the same way as downloads (which I also do not know how to progress further). If someone has tried this before it will save us a lot of time! Seems quite a standard sort of expectation (downloading, running eLearning objects....) Youtube and video What performance targets are being aimed for? Do we have any benchmarks or standards that tell us what the XO will eventually be able to do? Other problems: - We have a wireless subscriber gateway in our office, I use to connect the B2 to it. Now it doesn't appear on the network neighborhood screen anymore - but I can see other access points and connect to them. The gateway is working fine. Our hotspot just doesn't appear anymore on the XO. Maybe it's the hotespot that is rejecting the XO. ?? - Can we expect multimedia to work? YouTube? National Geographic animations etc? - I managed use a USB hard drive for a while but suddenly it can't be mounted anymore and I am stuck: wrong fs type, bad option, dab superblock on /dev/sda1, I am obviously not up to speed with Linux command language etc David Leeming
