Developing countries often lack the appropriate infrastructure and trained personnel to enable lifelong learning or continuing education. Although broadband Internet is on the rise, it still requires a big funds investment. Currently the mobile infrastructure is the main access point for Internet communication in remote areas. That is why researchers from Peru and Belgium have developed an open source learning solution. This code enables health care workers to connect to the free learning platform Moodle with their iPhone, iPod, and some other last generation mobile devices. This is a first application of its kind for both Moodle and the iPhone.
