Of the 180 million children who enter primary school in India, only 5.6 million make it through college. To prevent this exclusion bridges must be constructed at government schools were the country's most deprived and deserving students go to. DigitalTriangle will use Information and Communications Technology to build a platform that will be the bridge. The platform will enable teachers and educators in such environments maximize their potential and reach out effectively to many more students. The platform will be built using Open Source code and will comprise of a collaboration space, a repository of content, a collection of courses, a collection of resources and links, and section for content. Using the platform, educators would be able to collaborate online and use technology to effectively create lesson plans, establish rubrics, deliver instruction, and carry out assessments.
