Wageningen, 4 November 2009. Cliff Schmidt from Literacy Bridge presents the 'talking-book' (aka 'chatterbox'), a device that generated a lot of interest among the participants of the ICT Observatory 2009. This device is designed to allow people in remote rural areas to get access to knowledge and improve literacy: basically, all that a computer can do, but without having a display. It can speak multiple languages and can play content on different topics, such as agriculture and health. It also allow recording onto it, so that users can create and document their own knowledge. Last but not least, it allow exchange of digital content when connected with another 'chatterbox'. The content is produced locally. This device is not a prototype but has been deployed on the field for one year now and it is currently produced for sale to governments and NGOs.

Simulating a mobile/wireless service for agriculture: Reflections on the process

Simulating a mobile/wireless service for agriculture: Reflections on the process

Wageningen, 3 November 2009. Roxanna Samii from IFAD appreciated one of the facilitation methods used in the second day of the CTA ICT Observatory. Adapting the social media game, participants had to work in groups and imagine a mobile, wireless service for agriculture and rural development. They had to talk about target audiences, stakeholders, channels, sustainability and scaling. For Roxanna, nobody had anything at stake in this process and the creativity of people come out in amazing ways. See more at http://observatory2009.cta.int/ [video by Pier Andrea Pirani - Euforic]
