Design at the edges: Mobile UX in the developing world

Imagine building a massive network of private schools that costs only $5 a month for students to attend. Bridge International Academies of Kenya is doing exactly that, and mobile technology is integral helping the schools run efficiently. But how do you design a complete enterprise management system to run on a $50 phone? Motorola wanted to create a phone for low-income illiterate people. But how do you design a handset UI that is usable by people who cannot read? This session will walk through examples of how organisations working in developing countries are using mobile technology in novel ways to solve real problems.
