Although the practicality and potential of these new eLearning platforms have been much praised by developed countries, the unforeseen differences in technological and educational background between Learners from High Income and Low Income countries (HIC and LIC respectively) imply these platforms are often inaccessible for low literacy/Internet environments in developing countries countries who need education the most.

This project has been designed to meet this humanitarian need. More specifically, we designed and engineered Word2Moth, an Android-based educational platform that can provide:

• A novel mainly visual/audio course/lecture creation tool for Teachers to design their own OER content using their own media resources in their chosen language and pedagogy, all this right from their hand-held device.

• An offline sharing functionality to share Open Educational Resource (OER) through Bluetooth when Learners are in no Internet zones.

• An online OER store that uses Google's Firebase Services for Learners/Teachers to download/upload educational content from anywhere with Internet, accessible using Google's Text-To-Speech API.

• Indispensable metrics for Teachers to track the current popularity of their uploaded OER from within Word2Mouth.

• A simple to use UI that has been evaluated with a community from Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso.

Word2Mouth was written in Java and makes use of the following frameworks:

• Multi-threaded Bluetooth functionality - including 3 threads (Client/Server for connection and SendReceive for sending OER between devices)
• Persistent storage of both meta and media files on the device.
• Speech-To-Text/Text-To-Speech technology, using Google's APi - implemented in French and English. More langages to be added.

• Authentication of Teachers via comparison between Google Firebase's data and data stored on ownership file in device.
• Complex interaction between Google Firebase and Google Firebase Storage for linking meta and media files betwen NOSQL databases
• Novel Semi-offline to track Learners' usage for OER retention
• Interrupt handler that retries a specific upload/download of OER from the Firebase when Internet connection is regained.
