Abstract

This paper discusses a product called OnlineTT (Test Tutorial) that attempts to address the disparity in access to good education in India by addressing the low pass percentages in the grade ten Board examinations in rural India. This paper covers the lessons learnt in deploying this product from 2006 to 2008 in rural India. The current work on OnlineTT to incorporate additional features in an attempt to arrive at an inclusive and ubiquitous examination framework for India is then explained.
