BACKGROUND INFORMATION

IT labs;
Learning management software;
Free multimedia educational content.

While in most parts of Africa the majority of the population does not have access to the internet and electricity supplies are unreliable, this situation is changing rapidly. In particular in the fast-growing metropolitan areas, where the majority of the young people live. In addition, most adults now have smartphones and affordable 3G data. Maxim Nyansa is dedicated to taking education to the next level in this part of the world. More information about Maxim Nyansa and its projects can be found on their website.

PROBLEM

Currently, high schools in remote rural regions in Ghana have very limited access to IT infrastructure. There simply may be a lack of electricity, mobile phones or internet accessibility available in villages and financial resources scarce. The access to free educational content from the internet will be a huge step forward in the quality of education in West Africa.

ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION

Maxim Nyansa is looking for an IT architecture solution where students and teachers can gain full access to these resources. Teachers will be able to use videos, exercises etc. to enrich their lessons . This educational content from the internet could then also be used for reference, homework and examination preparation for the students.

For the high school projects in remote rural areas, Maxim Nyansa is looking for an IT architecture solution where students and teachers can gain full access to the resources the internet could offer. This IT architecture can then be tested as a pilot on various locations where Maxim Nyansa executes a project with a junior high school.
