Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Other uses Шаблон:Distinguish Шаблон:Infobox industrial process Internet-in-a-Box is a low cost digital library, consisting of a wireless access point with storage, which users nearby can connect to.[1]

Its realization in hardware and software has changed since 2012, as miniaturization of storage space and electronics progressed.[2] As of 2017, its hardware may consist of a Raspberry Pi with a replaceable storage card.[1]

In 2016, Columbia University's Masters in Public Administration in Development Practice (MPA-DP) explored using these boxes in the Dominican Republic for three months.[3]

Digital library

The digital library is composed of multiple modules; modules may be pre-installed, or users may choose which to install. Examples of modules include Wikipedia in a specific language, Wikipedia's Medical Encyclopedia, Khan Academy Lite, and OpenStreetMap.[3][1] Other content includes Moodle, Nextcloud, MediaWiki, PhET (interactive mathematics and science simulations), TED Talks.[4]

History

The concept grew out of One Laptop per Child's school server project.[1]
