[olpc-software] "Communication, collaboration and reading" and creative content creation?

["Tom M" <letterrip gmail com>]

Chris, on your blog comparing the goals and capabilities of a cell
phone versus OLPC rehetorically you asked

"Can kids create and share content using phones? Arguably, no. At
least not very rich content."

According to

Building Rich Online Content - The Open Course Model
http://lessons.harveyproject.org/presentations/TOHE/

rich content is

[QUOTE] interactive multimedia, animations, simulations, 3-D,
interactive quizzes and anything else that will give students a more
involving and enriching experience of the material than they could get
from a textbook or lecture slides.[/QUOTE]

However thus far the applications proposed for inclusion I don't think
that any could reasonably be considered tools for rich content
creation, the closest might be Inkscape.

So is rich content creation a bit of a goal?

Of course I have a bit of a selfish reason for asking :) since my all
consuming hobby is Blender.
