The files are contained in an archive called a tar-gzip file - like a 
zip file in Windows.
To unpack the archive you need to use the following in a shell

$ tar zxvf linuxcourse-0.1.tar.gz

Assuming you didn't save it as a different name. BTW the $ signifies 
your prompt so don't type it in. If you prefer a desktop client try 
opening the file in ark (KDE) or file-roller (GNOME)[1]

This (the shell command) will unpack them into a  new directory called 
"introduction to gnu-linux course". In there you will indeed find a 
number of ODF files and the zip file Simon mentioned.

[1] apologies if that is inaccurate it's been a long while since I used 
GNOME. :o)
