Kolibri
The Offline App for Universal Education, to support those marginalised from education during COVID-19.
Kolibri makes high quality education technology available in low-resource communities such as rural schools, refugee camps, orphanages, non-formal school systems, and prison systems.
Highlights
- Kolibri installers, updates, and content can be downloaded once to a device in an area that has an Internet connection.
- That "seeded" device can then share new content and updates with other devices over an offline local network.
- To reach the most remote communities, a device can be carried by foot to share installers, updates, and content with other devices over local networks.
Use Cases
- In Uganda, to keep children learning at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Education and Sports, UNICEF and the National Information Technology Authority (NITA-U), have introduced a free of charge and easy to use digital learning platform - Kolibri - with education content approved by the National Curriculum Development Center (NCDC) in Science and Mathematics for Secondary School learners and Inclusive education for primary.
