Benefits of using AGE      
Dedicated to millions of children around the world(+ Mother Earth)   
 
 
  Reach out to almost every part of your country
AGE project enables animated multimedia modules to reach to out to most parts of the country including rural areas with slow dial ups in seconds for hours of usage.

The Students.
The first beneficiaries would be the students. The availability of good multimedia modules that can be run anytime anywhere. The availability to access of software at students own time and convenience is lacking in today's CDs or online flash/Jaya environments. More often than not, students would prefer to read plain old books to ovecome this limitation.

With AGE, the students can easily copy the modules from school or  download the modules from the Internet with ease to use them at their own comfort - home or in a library. Students can now make use of the avaiable software and contents in the library or resource center for free.

With the ease of getting the software, studetnts would be able to learn at much faster speed.
Saves students lots of money having to pay for photocopies of homework. For more read below

Start using AGE in school 
see videos
Your school can now use AGE with projectors in classes. AGE would complement those given by the Ministry of Education. We know for sure, software runs out very fast and more often than not cannot be transferred back to students' homes to use. AGE can easily be used in class and students' homes. Just copy and paste the folders containing the modules that's all. AGE does not need Internet connections to use. So they are very useful and cheap to use. For the first time rural students will have tools and contents to improve their grades, able to pronounce proper English, able to improve on their Mathematics and lots of books to read. These are only the beginners as more publishers get into converting their contents into AGE formats or teachers exchanging contents nationally and globally. These are all coming. Join now the AGE project.

To close the digital divide among nations and urban/rural areas
We are currently producing educational modules and tools that will make teaching much easier and more efficient ( see benefits) and allow difficult to reach areas to have equal access to AGE modules.

To save the trees - Mothers of all environment protectors
We need to lessen the economic forces of felling trees for papers globally. To do that we need to be proactive to reduce the use of papers in schools among hundreds of millions of children in schools. Together there would be an impact. It requires very little individual efforts to get this going on sustainable basis, unlike other environmental friendly projects where individual and political wills are required. Here we use a better and more efficient and cheaper way to learn. It is able to reach rural areas cheaply bringing with it lots of economic benefits to all. Join us in this effort. Just spread the word around.

Raising teachers to the next level
We hope to raise teachers to the next level - nationally and globally - to be able to create digital self correcting homework with
ease using "practical tech" not "high tech" without the need to be ICT savvy nor the  need to pay thousands for overpowered tools teachers find difficult to master  and impractical to use.

Easy handling of marks from local to national levels - analyze students' strengths and weaknesses
AGE paperless Homework's entire homework process is automated. This includes creating modules, students doing the tests, collating the marks into electronic  spreadsheets. Collated marks can be sent to central head office to be analyzed collectively or individually to know the strengths and weaknesses of students' performances instantly. This collation of data for the entire country from the most remote to the most urban areas is made easy.

Easy availability of contents make learning super fast speed
Try out our paperless solution and you would be amazed how a simple tool and lots of ready simple modules will change the way you teach. How it is going to help to spare the trees and how third world countries can now digitise their education system without spending a "bomb".

No need for broadband!!
No broadband to continue receiving future multimedia modules? No worry. AGE's multimedia modules are so small that you do not need broadband to get hours of usage. A few seconds of downloads using ordinary slow dial up can provide hours or days of interactive modules. This is important because throughout the year, new modules would be prepared and these will continue to be delivered/sent to you via Internet or other means. If you live in the most remote areas, you can make use of satellite links for a few seconds of usage. Use hand cranked XO computers with WinXP (coming soon), you do not need electricity! 


Manufacturers of ULPCs
Want to market your ULPCs to the education markets globally?  Use AGE as one of the contents and it will be the contents that would be used most of the time. Why?

Storage space available in most ULPCs after the OS(e.g. Win XPs) is very limited and without CD Rom drives limits the availabilities of software intuitively accessible to students. Getting from Internet? Well, try that and you would find the options are very limited to the needs of the students and teachers.

ULPCs' NAND drives have limited lifespan of 10,000 read/write MTBF and if using AGE with minimal footprint would allow these drives to last much longer. 

Users of AGE are highly advised to test AGE first for compatibilities, e.g. the drivers,  before purchasing ULPCs. We would be putting up a list recommended very soon. Vista machines are not compatible.

Ministries of Education
We welcome any Ministry of Education around the world to test drive AGE's modules in their schools.

Find out

1. how AGE can save hundreds of millions of cost of implementations and new hardware purchases.    
2. Why using CDs or online flash will cost you a big sum without any assurance of success even in developed countries
3. how we can really uplift your entire nation's use of ICT in mass Education to the next level deem impossible before.
4. how we can train your teachers to be digital enabled from blackboard/paper based for almost negligible costs.
     (try this with tradition tools.... you would need hundreds of million of dollars for a small country)
5. how with very little budget you can reach out to the most remote areas you never dream of reaching with available technologies and infrastructures.
6. Don't have to wait for nationwide broadband roll out (if you have the funds in view of the financial crisis).  Use immediately.
