T. Mwakabaga, Barry Dwolatzky · 2006
In this era of converged information and communication technologies (ICT), one major challenge in using modern technologies to disseminate information generated from the local content is the lack of understanding the technologies and unavailability of appropriate tools that can be used to understand the technology in creating not only Internet applications but also mobile applications. Open source software has brought a much cheaper and easier path to accessing various tools that can be used for learning, and teaching. This paper presents hands on experience of open source tools that can be used to grasp the technologies in the ICT. The integrated architecture referred to as KLAMP, is a combination of tools and gateway that enable Internet and mobile applications to be easily developed. It is not only suitable as a wireless and mobile learning platform but also can be used for large scale projects
