Community Information Platform
An Intel-Sponsored Addition to the eGranary Digital Libary
The Intel Corporation has joined The WiderNet project in a partnership sponsoring the development of Community Information Platforms that will be added to eGranary Digital Libriaries used by Intel in their World Ahead Program and all future versions of the eGranary.
Community Information Platforms 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 and create Web sites easily.
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 the 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 helps to bridge the digital divide through their generous donation and partnership with The WiderNet Project. Other organizations and corporations can look to Intel and their exemplary work as progressive activism toward quality education innovation.
