本文提出了一种创新的应用无线，移动的和无处不在的技术，以支持非正式和协作学习在肯尼亚农村农业社区。这种方法是通过开发一个知识管理系统（KMS）与现有的当地社区沟通渠道相结合，以及实验知识管理（KM）倡议采用VeSeL（村电子科学的生活）分布式资源包（DRKs）。这些举措支持文盲和半文盲的农业社区群体学习新的农业做法，并使他们能够利用先进的数字技术来改善农业做法和识字水平。最近实地考察肯尼亚的结果，并制定了应用草图。本文总结了将无线和互联网技术应用于当地农业社区教育的过程，并将灌溉和水管理作为应用程序。
This paper presents an innovative application of wireless, mobile and ubiquitous technologies to support informal and collaborative learning in Kenyan rural farming communities. Such an approach is achieved by the development of a knowledge management system (KMS) integrated with existing local community communication channels, together with experimental knowledge management (KM) initiatives employing the VeSeL (Village e-Science for Life) distributed resource kits (DRKs). The initiatives support illiterate and semi-literate farming community groups, in learning new agriculture practices, and also enable the use of advanced digital technology to improve their agricultural practices and literacy levels. Results of a recent field trip to Kenya are presented and an application sketch is developed. The process of applying wireless and Internet technologies for the education of local farming communities, using irrigation and water management as the application, concludes the paper.
