Developing countries often lack the necessary infrastructure and trained personnel to enable lifelong learning or continuing education. And although broadband Internet is on the rise, it still requires significant investment funds to deploy.

So it is not surprising that mobile infrastructures are currently the way Internet communications are reaching many remote areas. And for this reason, researchers from Peru and Belgium have now developed an open source learning solution that utilizes the iPhone for access.

The code, which is just undergoing tests now, will enable health care workers in developing countries to connect to the free learning platform "Moodle" with their iPhone, iPod, and some of other new-generation mobile devices.
