As a reminder, the ilimbox team has already launched the IlimBox digital library. Currently, Ilimboks equipment is installed in schools located in remote areas of the country where there is no Internet connection.
The digital library includes Wikipedia in Kyrgyz, Russian and English, Khan Academy in English, as well as thousands of audio, video tutorials and e-books.
IilmBox – the electronic library was small in size. It has two components. The first is the hard drive. The other is a small mini computer. The hard drive holds 2 terabytes of data. A small Orange Pi mini computer is connected to the hard drive. The computer has Wi-Fi hotspots. These two systems are connected to each other and placed in a box called IilmBox. It is enough to insert the box where there is electricity and users can learn with IilmBox via phone or computer. No internet access and no payment because everything works offline.
This system provides access to all educational resources without an Internet connection. More information is available at https://isoc.kg/ru/ilimbox/.
