Abstract :
Much recent work in multiple input use scenarios for children´s learning software has focused either on math or on English language learning. The persistence of under-information among children in the developing world on issues of hygiene and disease prevention remains a massive challenge within the scholarly community in public health, especially in the developing regions that multiple input learning technologies are designed for. DISHA is a collaborative platform for public health information for children in low-income regions using multiple mice. The system is designed towards collaborative use of screen resources.
