The OLE Nepal team is developing activites for Nepali schools, using Etoys as our programming platform. In April, a Pilot program was launched at the two schools in the Kathmandu for grades 2 and 6.

E-Paath: Downloading, Issues, customization

The set of (open source) activities we're developing are grouped under the name Epaath, and you can get the latest release by clicking this link. Help us test them by logging bug reports and suggesting feature enhancements in our online bug-tracking system.

We're working at full speed towards the pilot program, and we need all the help that we can get. If you want to help out, please see the Epaati_open_issues page.

We have augmented the standard Etoys image a bit so it satisfies some of our specific needs. Instructions on how to make a fully fledged Epaati image is described here Epaati_image_customization.

Instructions on how to load individual Epaath activities from a remote or local server are described in Epaath_in_browser

Note: These activities used to be called E-Paati but the kids started calling the XO itself E-Paati so we had to change the name to E-Paath, which means E-lesson.

E-Paath tips and tricks

E-Paath is usually either in author mode or in user mode. If in user mode, the image can be unlocked by pressing ALT-SHIFT-w, selecting OLE, and then selecting author mode.

To go from author mode to user mode, just press left-click on the world, and select OLE -> usermode.
