Introduction to KDE Education

Free Educational Software based on the KDE technologies: students, parents, children, teachers, adults.

Key Points:

• Primary focus is on schoolchildren aged 3 to 18, and the specialized user interface needs of young users.
• While until now only available on Unix, BSD and Linux, still in beta but already usable, the KDE 4 series bring our applications on Windows

Our Collaboration

Usability and educational improvements on four software applications:

• Kbruch
• Kpercentage
• Kalzium
• Ksudoku

Also, testing KDE for Windows aiming to accellerate the education software applications support on Windows platforms.

Briefing of Software Applications

KBruch

KBruch is a small program to practice calculating with fractions. Therefore 4 different exercises are offered. Factorization is important while finding the main denominator of 2 fractions. Also, KBruch provides a handbook describing the different exercises and the general usage.

KPercentage

KPercentage is a small math application that will help students to improve their skills in calculating percentages.

Kalzium

Kalzium is an application which will show you some information about the periodic system of the elements. Therefore you could use it as an information database.

Ksudoku

KSudoku is a logic-based symbol placement puzzle. The player has to fill a grid so that each column, row as well as each square block on the game field contains only one instance of each symbol.

KDE on Windows

The KDE on Windows Project is aimed at native porting of the KDE applications to MS Windows.
