Botswana is a developing country
in Southern Africa
with approximately
64% of the population in urban areas.
The o
ther remaining population
suffers poor services in remote regions such as unstable power supply, internet
connectivity and other services. Botswana Open University (BOU) is an Open and Distance Learning (ODL)
inst
itution which aims at improving access to education especially to marginalised regions. As an effort to
mitigate such challenges, we propose a Mobile App Model with Offline Support. The design model will enable
development of a mobile app with offline supp
ort to be used in the marginalised regions of Botswana for the
BOU Student Management System. // Paper ID 125
