TheRealmccoy's goal is commendable. Many economies do not have favorably balanced trade with the big nations, so an effective way to learn on mobile will help many persons. But in a crisis where bombs and bullets are flying around, will studying be really important to survival? Will edX be of any help to someone who likely does not have internet access (I'd rather spend on essential goods than pay an ISP that doesn't care about me)? His solution, if he finds one, will be of benefit to the captive economies of the third world, except the crisis-torn economies.

specially in crisis torn places, one finds only gloom and sadness; the future looks dark and bleak, if a pedagogical approach is found where kids and youngsters can learn on mobile itself, something like Programming, which could help them in a better future, that could help many. Unfortunates those who are forced to migrate, may be can learn enough to start a new beginning.

  I sincerely hope you find something that works. It is a good pursuit. Will it be limited to learning programming only? There are many other skills that will be needed after such crises. One such skill is creative writing to bring the arts back to life (other arts are needed too). Another is story telling, because the story of the events will need to be told, preferably by those who were in the midst of it, not those who wish to write the victims' history (like the colonialists did to Africa).

    This is one of the first in the series. Post October, I am going to work as a waiter at one of the beach shacks here and based on my experience, I intend to write a novel and also publish my research on "How to get maximum tips, working as a waiter". Both creative writing and story telling are very close to me, off late I have written 17 short stories, they can be read on https://medium.com/@realmccoy https://medium.com/@realmccoy the stories are numbered.
