DigitalCampus provides open source mobile learning platform OppiaMobile and content repository ORB to support health worker training. Content in ORB is curated and openly licensed for reuse and adaptation. OppiaMobile and the end-to-end process of content creation, review, deployment and evaluation have been implemented in several countries including Ethiopia, Ghana, Nigeria, India and Pakistan. Initial results show high engagement from health workers and increased uptake of programs.

Rationale
● Principles for Digital Development
● Reduce costs/development time
● Evaluate based on the content – not the technology
● Common technologies and platforms to help
sustainability – not project specific apps
● Single process enables Govt. ownership/oversight
while accommodating varied/new technologies
● Richer learning content than can be delivered via
SMS/IVR
