Developing web-based systems for supporting mobile-based peer learning

Abstract

Accredited Social Health Activists(ASHA) in India play a crucial role in improving the access to healthcare services of rural populations. Despite their key contributions, they receive inadequate training and supervision. Traditional face to face training possess challenges of infrastructure, management, and cost. To supplement their training we are providing them with a learning platform ie a mobile learning platform. In this paper, we present Sangoshthi, a low-cost mobile-based training and learning platform that ts well into the environment of low-Internet access and is relevant to the local context. To scale such a platform for multiple third parties . This project is equipped with a Web Portal designed keeping in mind the technical expertise of the organization such that it provides its users with a user-friendly interface to conduct shows and see the analysis of data collected. The aim is to achieve supervisory and program management levels improvement which improves the learning platform, iteratively resulting in an improved system. The aim is to make a self-sustained project for organizations (NGOs, health centers) such that they are able to operate and conduct the programs smoothly on the learning platform and analyze the data collected at their end.
