Sugar Labs - the software side of of the OLPC project - has launched a new project called Replacing Textbooks. According to the website, "UNESCO takes this idea very seriously, and has asked Mokurai to open a discussion on it on their WSIS Web site. He has also created a CrowdRise fundraiser for this project." The project is ambitious. "The basic mission is to create OERs to replace textbooks in every school subject for every age or grade level for every country in every language needed." But there are some serious flaws. "We mean to integrate our OERs with Sugar education software at every point. Some of them will consist entirely of software." What's the point of that? Who is going to have Sugar available to run them on?
