5th Grade students at Kanvili Nuriya Primary School

         These students in Tamale, Northern Region, Ghana are studying their mother tongue, Dagbani, on WIFI devices connected to a MoodleBox. There is no internet available in their school or community except via data plans on cell phones which their teacher uses to download the OER Dagbani material from African Storybook. He is then able to create comprehension assessments on MoodleBox.  Read more about the professional development.

       This project was funded by a grant from the Creative Commons Open Education Platform with additional support from STEAM NPC of Durban, South Africa; SABIER of Minneapolis USA; and Siemens-Stiftung of Munich, Germany.
