Paperlink

Paperlink is an e-paper device designed specifically to deliver adaptive and blended learning to secondary school students in a developing world classroom.

It aims to create a user experience akin to having an imaginary tutor sat with you - you can hear his or her explanation and see their notes appear on a page as well as prompting the student to answer intermittent questions.

The device and accompanying system are designed to work with minimal infrastructure and very low cost.
