The My sCool Server is pre-configured with a robust offline hosting platform. It comes pre-integrated with two learning platforms of varying complexity in terms of features, target audience and desired outcomes.
Our team has done the heavy-lifting of integrating the platforms with the hardware in an optimum way, so that the teachers and the students can carry on with their business as usual without worrying about the rigours of technology.

It is specially designed to provide offline access to a curated and openly licensed educational content library.

The My sCool Server is preloaded with varied content types from some of the world’s best Open Educational Resources (OERs), at no additional cost.
Showcasing the resources is our way of contributing to the great OER movement. The intent is to take the great content to the masses for whom it has been created, many of whom are completely oblivious to their existence. We hope that this will further fuel the open education resources movement and a day will come when no one will be deprived of learning and knowledge due to lack of access to quality educational content.
