Hi, I worked at OLPC. You might not be aware that OLPC shipped offline Wikipedia snapshots (in an appropriate language) on each laptop, or that people made Khan Academy video packs that were downloadable to a "school server" with enough disk space, or that children who received OLPC laptops helped to translate Khan Academy videos to their own language: http://blog.printf.net/articles/2013/02/01/children-in-peru-write-their-own-history-on-wikipedia/ http://blog.printf.net/articles/2013/02/01/children-in-peru-... http://blog.laptop.org/2011/06/06/khan-academy-videos-and-olpc http://blog.laptop.org/2011/06/06/khan-academy-videos-and-ol... http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Khan_Academy http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Khan_Academy So we did work on some of these issues, often successfully e.g. in the case of Wikipedia. We didn't have our small US team make instructional videos, though -- that doesn't seem wise (smacks of colonialism) or sustainable (OLPC laptops went to something like 30 countries). There are plenty of things we should have done better, though. The mesh network was a failure in most locations, and the "hand crank" power didn't work, though we were able to run laptops off single solar panels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITHNbOrPQyM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITHNbOrPQyM
