Technology is an important aid in achieving large scale impact through education in India. Technology Assisted Learning (TAL) as the name suggests uses technology as a lever in the process of education. The problem encountered by many educators working for under-privileged children is that good educational content is not available in regional languages. This applies equally well to books as to multimedia contents that can be delivered through a computer. Another problem is the cost of such content as is available.
