The Triple “E” Project
The OAC initiated a project called Triple ”E” Initiative (for
Empowerment, eLearning, and E-Readers). The Project is an initiative
that aims to empower people through e-learning and e-readers (Farley &
Doyle, 2014). Triple “E” project aims to bridge the digital divide and
provide access to educational resources and opportunities for those who
may not have had access to them before. The project typically involves
the distribution of e-readers loaded with educational content and
resources, as well as providing training and support to help individuals
learn how to use the devices and access the materials. The e-readers
often have features such as text-to-speech, which can help those who
struggle with traditional reading to access information in a more
accessible format.
The Triple ”E” Project can have a significant impact on individuals and
communities, particularly those in underserved areas. By providing
access to educational resources, individuals can improve their knowledge
and skills, which can lead to improved economic opportunities and
quality of life. The project can also help to promote literacy and
lifelong learning, which are essential for personal and professional
development. This model did not have an Internet connection, an
integrated battery, or an SD card port. The project team discovered that
filling the SD card slots with ”builder’s bog” was the most efficient
technique of disabling them after some experimentation. Even after
digging out the ”muck” with a sharp tool, the SD card port remained
inoperable (Farley & Doyle, 2014). Course readings, module guides, and
the course introductory book were once again converted to ePub format,
checked for copyright compliance, and loaded onto eBook readers.
