摘要

In this digital age, there is a shocking absence of digital educational tools for early literacy in languages other than English. Despite the fact that 95% of the world's children are not native English speakers, the majority of them are being educated in English. In this era of contextual learning, teaching children to read in their native language will not only narrow the digital language divide, but also promote cultural sustainability. Leaders and project managers often fail to see cultural differences for what they truly are: catalysts for creation, innovation and collaboration. iLearn4Free is a US-based non-profit organization with roots in Europe, founded upon the discovery that there is a lack of linguistically diverse digital educational tools. It is our mission to bridge the digital language divide and support cultural sustainability by creating educational applications for mobile phones in multiple languages. Our main challenge was to create an application that is adaptable to, and accessible by, a multitude of languages and cultures, while keeping costs at a minimum. While universal design is, to a certain extent, a Utopia, we believe that it is the only way to bring the cost down and enable more children to have access to digital learning in their own language. To achieve this extraordinary goal, we have developed an application template with a team of writers, designers and educators from many different nationalities; most of the work was performed through online collaboration.
