BiB : Rural edition Samuel Klein sj@laptop.org One Laptop per Child
About this session interrupt with questions! Use cases from OLPC communities • Low-connectivity and offline book use: • readers for all audiences • browsing and discovery • Writing and publishing • interaction, workbooks, collaborative books • publishing and distribution
Peru, 2008-2011 • A new digital 1st-5th grade curriculum. Initially: PDF and doc (for editability)
Types of rural classrooms • Fairly connected. Regional servers • Offline with school servers, or offline for stretches of time at home / for research • Offline, one-room schools, extensive group learning
Types of use • Visual books (literacy, photobooks, comics) • Structured books with annotation, localization, and updates (Texts, manuals) • Thousands of heavily linked texts (Wikipedia) • Highly collaborative texts (wiki papers) • Workbooks and interactive/programmable texts (html5, dhtml)
Recap: hard school use cases • Often offline • Every reader or node its own server • Search everywhere, aggregate • Every reader is an author • Publish early and often, iterate, store additions • Every work has versions • Modify, annotate, collaborate as a rule • Listing 'related works' is compex
