Tutorius - The interactive tutor & Tutorial creator
Welcome to the Tutorius website. Tutorius is an open source project developed by nine computer engineering students from Université de Sherbrooke in Canada. Our project is based on the Sugar platform
with the simple goal of making education easier and more accessible to
teachers and children around the world and also of improving education
quality.
The Sugar platform/software on which Tutorius is based is already installed on more than 400,000 laptops around the world, mainly because of its association with the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project. Even though Sugar isn’t the official operating system running on the XO (OLPC laptop) anymore, it is now included with most Linux distributions, remains widely used and is an interesting educational platform for children.
Tutorius Vs Sugar
Even though Sugar already made a huge step in making learning easier
and more accessible to young children, some important improvements can
still be made. Discovery, sharing and collaboration are at the core of
the Sugar platform, but there is a need to better structure the way
students are going to explore and learn. This is what Tutorius is all
about: providing an extra layer on top of the existing learning
software to guide the students and structure the way they are going to
learn using it. The goal is definitively not to limit the children in
their exploration and learning, it is to make it easier for them to do
so by giving them the right tools and support.

Because teachers are at the core of education, Tutorius give a lot of importance to them. That is because even if we make learning easier, more accessible and interesting for children, it also has to be easy and interesting for teachers to use Sugar and promote what they are doing with it. Tutorius will be able to make learning easier, more interesting and accessible to children and also provide the necessary tools to teachers by focusing on the following three aspects: building an interactive tutor, a tutorial creator & editor and a website to share tutorials.© 2009 Tutorius.
