OLE Nepal's venture into open sourcing E-Paath(2-6)
OLE Nepal's pursuit of digitizing educational material up to grade 10 recently reached a major milestone as we completed the development of content for grade 8. Although this is quite the achievement, computer technology is such an ever-evolving field that the content developed for grade 2 to grade 6—using Flash—has become technologically outdated. Consequently, OLE Nepal, in our endeavor of improving education through computer science, decided to make our code base for grade 7-8, developed using HTML5, JS, and CSS, open source and involve students from various fields of computer science into our project to redevelop the content for grade 2-6.
