Camara, Souleymane, Shrestha, Sujan, Abdelnour-Nocera, José and Moore, John (2010): Village eLearning: an offline mobile solution to rural communities? knowledge requirement. In: Proceedings of the HCI10 Conference on People and Computers XXIV 2010. pp. 463-467.

“This paper presents an offline mobile eLearning concept as an ICT solution to address the knowledge requirements of a rural sub-Saharan farming community. A socio-technical customisation and deployment of WikiReaders is proposed to support offline mobile access to digital content. A future use scenario is presented as a demonstration of cheap but sustainable innovation emerging from a longitudinal evaluation of users, their needs and their context.”

Walker, Kevin, Underwood, Joshua, Waema, Tim, Dunckley, Lynne, Abdelnour-Nocera, José, Luckin, Rosemary, Oyugi, Cecilia and Camara, Souleymane (2008): A resource kit for participatory socio-technical design in rural Kenya. In: Proceedings of ACM CHI 2008 Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems April 5-10, 2008. pp. 2709-2714.

“We describe our approach and initial results in the participatory design of technology relevant to local rural livelihoods. Our approach to design and usability proceeds from research in theory and practice of cross-cultural implementations, but the novelty is in beginning not with particular technologies but from community needs, and structuring technology in terms of activities. We describe our project aims and initial data collected, which show that while villagers have no clear mental models for using computers or the Internet, they show a desire to have and use them. We then describe our approach to interaction design, our expectations and next steps as the technology and activities are first introduced to the villages.”
