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.
