Community Information Platform

Making it Easy to Add Local Content to the eGranary Digital Library

 

 

 

The Intel Corporation has joined the WiderNet project in a partnership sponsoring the development of Community Information Platforms that will be added to all future eGranary servers, including those used by Intel's World Ahead Program.

 

 

 

What is a Community Information Platform?
The Community Information Platform will make it possible for teachers and students along with other members of communities to add content to their own eGranaries, also enabling them to develop curriculum.

Why are Community Information Platforms Important?
This is a feature that the WiderNet Project has wanted to add to the eGranary Digital Library for sometime but has been unable to until now thanks to the involvement of the Intel Corporation. It has been possible in the past to add content to eGranary, but only for those with technical skills. Intel’s Community Information Platforms make it possible for anyone to add content to eGranary using simple tools and without needing technical training.
Bridging the Digital Divide.
The Intel Corporation is showing that they are taking the initiative to help bridge the digital divide through their generous donation and progressive partnership with the WiderNet Project. Other organizations and corporations can look to Intel and their exemplary work as progressive activism toward quality education innovation.
