Embedded Files
Following the success of our Sherig Collection, we are building a prototype for an offline educational server. The server will include many of the resources of the Collection with substantial enhancements, all available on a compact and inexpensive server:
Khan Academy
Wikipedia
Audio books
Educational games
Utilities
Dzongkha resources
More
The server is an ideal solution for schools without Internet that need scalable access to quality educational resources. Resources are then easily accessible from any wireless-enabled device (laptop, smartphone, tablet). Connecting the server to a LAN will enables access to desktops.
Main features:
Low cost (US$100 to $250)
Both wireless and wireline access
Easy installation and maintanance
Low power consumption
Plug-and-play
Doubles as a wireless router
We are currently evaluating two hardware options: The SMILE Plug Computer and the Raspberry Pi.
