Agavi: Offline Digital Learning for Ukraine

Greetings all,

I hope you are well.  Our colleagues in Ukraine are currently safe, but many of them have fled Ukraine and are scattered throughout Europe.  This has made it difficult to work on projects like Greenworks at the moment.  We are in frequent communication with our colleagues to understand how we can better support them in this dire hour.  In the meantime, we are working to repurpose other endeavors we are working on, such as the Amazon River school project and Agavi, to help address the education needs of Ukrainian teachers and students.

Please keep Ukraine and its struggle against oppression and barbarism in your thoughts and maintain pressure on your local and national governments to keep the light of freedom from getting snuffed out.

With gratitude,

Lev

Greetings friends,

I wanted to pass along a quick update on our work in Ukraine.  I have been in contact with our colleagues at Lviv Polytechnic and the University of Lviv, who remain safe.  Our work is in Lviv, which is in far western Ukraine and thus far mostly shielded from the unjustifiable violence that has been inflicted on Ukraine.  We will continue to keep track of the situation and make necessary adjustments to our work.  The work on developing the Agavi learning system is remote and global and will continue regardless.  The curriculum development and teacher traing work with our faculty colleagues is likewise remote and we will make adjustments based on their needs in the coming weeks and months.

With resilience,

Lev
