1. E-learning in Morocco’s rural areas Team members : Abdullah Hassan A ndualemnardos johnsonprincegabriel asaraps sabeloc3

2. Moroccan students and teachers in rural communities and isolated villages are confronted with many challenges in the e-learning delivering process. This new e-learning experience and its issues endangers education as it grows up the digital divide between urban and rural areas. This issue needs resolution so as to facilitate equal opportunities in education irrespective of rural or urban location. The severity of the digital divide is so important as it affects on nearly 50% of Moroccan students when it comes to their educational practices.

3. The first visualization reflects the responses of teachers who have adopted distance learning and challenges they encountered such as difficulty of access for students, maintaining student motivation, lack of materials.

4. The problems associated with delivering E-Learning in rural areas, which most providers agree about is lack of suitable infrastructure for fast Internet connectivity. IT illiteracy was also mentioned as a problem by half the providers overall while limited financial capacity of rural residents and lack of support staff in rural areas was mentioned by one in four providers

5. The third one represents responses of a request indicate the mode of learning people would opt for, 61% of the respondents chose face-to-face education as they need real contact with the teacher and real interaction, 28% chose remote learning with all comfort and flexibility of space and time offers, while 10% chose blended learning.

6. Rural areas have limited access to technology and the internet. Many students lack necessary equipment and reliable internet connections. For that, the development of solar-powered digital libraries is one effective way to overcome educational issues in remote regions. These libraries, which are outfitted computers or tablets, will have reliable internet infrastructure to support online learning and allow access to a wide range of resources and e-learning platforms. These libraries promote sustainability and overcome the restrictions of unpredictable electricity supply in rural locations by utilizing the power of solar energy Establish solar-powered learning centers in this areas ensures that educational resources, including computers and lights, are available even in off-grid locations.

9. Writing short annotations or descriptions would be great to make the functionality easier and clearer for the potential user. This is a good recommendation that we will apply and that will alleviate the user’s interaction, also for visually impaired users or other disabled users. One effective feature in the wireframes is the clear presentation of the solar technology concepts. . However, it's important to ensure that any interactive elements are optimized for users with potentially slower internet connections in rural areas. Consider incorporating features that allow users to access essential content offline, ensuring a seamless learning experience regardless of internet availability. This point is interesting and is the core of our work. This learning platform is going to be accessible in solar energy powered centers to ensure a quality experience for students. Recommendations to improve our website

10. If necessary funding is given, our team will be able to install Solar-Powered learning centers, and implement energy storage solutions, such as efficient battery systems, to store excess energy during periods of high sunlight for later use during low-light conditions. And will start the training of staff that will be responsible for accompanying students during the first use of our solution.

11. If the problem of the disparity in the e-learning experience between rural and urban areas in Morocco were successfully addressed and solved, several positive changes could be expected in the reality of education in the country. For example, student enrollment percentage might increase by 30% or operating costs for educational Institutions might reduced by 40%.

12. Our process for creating wireframes or prototypes typically begins with gathering requirements and understanding user needs. We then sketch out rough ideas on paper or using digital tools, iterating through several versions to refine the design. Collaboration within the team and with stakeholders is crucial for feedback and validation. The most challenging aspect often lies in balancing functionality with simplicity and ensuring that the design effectively communicates the intended user experience. Through this process, we've learned the importance of continuous testing and iteration, as well as the value of incorporating user feedback early and often to create a more intuitive and user-friendly final product. In 3-5 sentences, please share an overview of your and/or your team’s process of creating wireframes or a prototype. What was the most challenging thing about the process of creating your wireframes or prototype?
