The Rise of Mobile Education Software

Yale School of Management

With the rise of the smartphone, the need for high quality eductional tools is becoming critical. Existing websites like Khan Academy have mobile versions, but such applications tend to require heavy data usage. This makes it infeasible for them to be used in developing nations, where data is extremely expensive per hour of minimum wage. The team at Py (http://py-app.com) has created a mobile app that requires no cellular data after the app has been downloaded and provides rich, interactive text-based lessons on subjects in programming, math, science and humanities.
