Abstract

Abstract: This symposium provides an integrated potential solution to providing a technology supported learning environment for students who have no other hope of achieving a tertiary education. The impending crisis in accessing tertiary institution was presented at EdMedia 2010 where the growth rate in students qualified to study will grow at a massive rate in Ethiopia. On a worldwide basis the body of students seeking access has grown to 153 million tertiary students in the world, a 53% increase since the year 2000 and a fivefold increase in less than 40 years. The proposed solution includes a summary of the crisis, the work of the team at the Learning Technology Research Institute, the OLPC technologies and associated infrastructures, and a long-range wireless transmission of educational programs over FM or AM public networks.
