E-learning and the Developing World.

I believe that e-learning software can be a great equalizer in terms of global education. Great advances in bringing down the cost of computing has helped this. OLPC and the Intel Classmate PC have opened up the possibilities for 1:1 computing across the globe. Open source operating systems such as Linux help dramatically reduce the cost of these laptops further.

As you know, Brain Power Math is a free software application and we hope to eventually get around to a Linux release.

I also, think that certain web based applications may not be suitable for developing countries that do not have good Internet penetration rates. Although I see Brain Power releasing online applications in the future I think offline applications should be developed in tandem.

An example I would like to use is Google Docs where there are both online and offline versions of Docs.

Again, lets hope that e-learning software continues to help all students fulfill their potential.
