The study aims to provide a software and hardware platform for asynchronous content distribution and content management with the goal of augmenting and supporting remote learning workflows for both instructors and students in low-bandwidth situations; which is the prevailing condition in the country. The intent of the project is to enable individual school units the ability to prepare; store; and act upon educational materials for students where bandwidth is limited or non-existent without the need to install and maintain on-site traditional ICT infrastructure or rely on cloud-enabled services that require always-on connectivity. This comes at a time when the need to have a risk resilience and disaster mitigation plan for education amidst the COVID-19 pandemic-induced restrictions to human mobility leading to social isolation of educators and students alike.
