Bridging communications across the digital divide
(CTIT, 2004)
Connecting people across the Digital Divide is as much a social effort as a technological one. We are developing a community-centered approach to learn how interaction techniques can compensate for poor communication across ...
Developing locally relevant applications for rural areas: a South African example
(SAICSIT, in assocation with ACM, 2004)
The digital divide between rural and urban areas within developing countries is vast. We investigate how to address this divide by introducing Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) into remote rural areas. Our ...
Open user interconnect and quality of communication
(Telkom, 2004)
We looked for and found two situations within the South African Digital Divide where constant and severe macro-scale latencies would most likely interfere with the usage of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) ...
Abstractions for designing and evaluating communication bridges for people in developing regions
(ACM, 2010)
This paper describes two novel abstractions that help soft- ware engineers work in developing regions to align social and technical factors when building communication systems. The abstractions extend two concepts familiar ...
Deaf telephony: community-based co-design
(Wiley, 2011)
The process of community-based co-design is one that explores various solution configurations in a multi-dimensional design space whose axes are the different dimensions of requirements and the various dimensions of designer ...
User interfaces for communication bridges across the digital divide
(Springer-Verlag, 2006)
Connecting people across the Digital Divide is as much a social effort as a technological one. We are developing a community-centred approach to learn how interaction techniques can compensate for poor communication across ...
