Social Entrepreneur Rabi Karmacharya Reports Progress in Innovating Nepali Schools
Blogging from the Global OLE Assembly in Kathmandu, Nepal – Richard Rowe, founder of the Open Learning Exchange, puts a lot of emphasis on the need for social entrepreneurs in developing countries to catalyze a transformation in their schools. In each country where OLE is established, you will find a social entrepreneur leading the local OLE Center, bringing novel learning approaches into schools, and working with their government to scale up those innovations proven to improve children’s access to quality education.

Wanted: Enterprise Content Management for Education
One of the tasks that I'll be working on during my brief stint here in Nepal is researching and (hopefully) implementing a way to organize all the different media objects produced by OLE Nepal as the basis for their E-Paath learning activities. Currently, we are talking about several thousand images, sounds, texts, and videos, but it's not hard to imagine their repository containing hundreds of thousands or more artifacts in the not-too-distant future. Apart from the specific OLE Nepal use-case, I also believe that even larger content repositories have to be a core consideration for both the larger OLPC and SugarLabs efforts.
