In cooperation with the global non-profit foundation e-Learning for kids, Avallain E4D makes interactive learning content for kids available on the XO, better known as the 100$ laptop. More than 100 learning units cover a wide range of topics including: math, science, English as a second language and life/health skills.The content comes on a bootable OS image packed on a flash card (value ca 10$). The conversion of the e-learning for kids content library is a first step, tests at the Gentiana Primary School in Nairobi will launch in Summer 2009 and provide insights for further steps in shaping locally suitable content packages for the OLPC and similar emerging hardware platforms. The OS image also features a bandwidth-friendly remote update solution and supports connectivity for these updates via mobile networks.
It is based on the standard Ubuntu OS, an open source operating system, which is already being provided and championed by a growing community of XO users.
