Paper Abstract:
|
The usability of software in rural environment is difficult for various reasons. Hence, the digital-divide remains between rural and urban population. The local language support, availability of suitable local content is some of the reasons. The authors have developed a product specially catering the need of rural population and deployed it in a rural village in Tamil Nadu, India. As part of this deployment, we conducted a training program for the end-users and interacted with them to know about the usability of our system. This paper describes our experience that we obtained by doing this exercise. |
