Open Learning Exchange – OLE

OLE is an open source learning system that has 2 components:

1.  An online cloud-based for managing learning content and aggregating user metrics.
2. A community server that delivers learning resources, courses and learner management tools to a local area network.

The platform can be accessed by any device that can open a browser and use it, like a computer, a smart phone or a tablet. It uses Raspberry Pi, costing 35 USD, as its server thus easily powered by batteries and solar cells. This platform can be accessed with or without the internet. This platform can run on any operating system including Linux, Apple OS X or windows.

The courses are multilingual and each user has their personal dashboards that contain resources they have chosen to read.

For any questions or assistance, the designers can be contacted through their website or through their user manual.
