Sugar Labs, a spin off from One Laptop per Child, reports it has released the latest version of its Sugar Learning Platform.
The update, Sugar version .84, features more collaborative activities. It also allows users to suspend and resume “activities,” which is Sugar’s term for programs — something requested by teacher feedback, according to the Cambridge-based nonprofit.
Sugar Labs founder Walter Bender, formerly of the MIT Media Lab, left the nonprofit One Laptop per Child organization, where he was president of software and content, to start Sugar Labs in May 2008.
Sugar is free open-source software, available for download at www.sugarlabs.org. Sugar on a Stick, a USB drive-based version intended to simplify classroom use of Sugar, is scheduled for release in the third quarter of 2009.
