Dr Venkataraman Balaji, Director of Technology and Knowledge management at COL has been leading the development of innovative but relevant technology solutions for reaching the unreached. 

In short, the classroom without walls / Aptus provides a low cost server and local wireless hub for mobile devices to bring rich learning content to remote learners who may not have reliable or affordable internet connectivity.  This has huge potential and real opportunities for leveraging digital OER in widening access to educational opportunity for all. The technology is entirely open source.

COL has posted a call for field trial ideas -- Please distribute the request to your local tech people. 

Projects like this can make a significant contribution in building an open ecosystem for mainstreaming open education approaches worldwide.
