| Abstract | Culturally relevant technology (CRT) and computing is an emergent field of Computer Science -- Human Centered Computing concerned with contributions to understanding and developing better interactions among people and the technology they use. The global diffusion of technology means that more people who may have not previously had exposure or availability of technology are now able to access or own technologies that can connect them to the digital world. This has created an environment that makes the developing world a ripe market for technological business enterprise. More specifically, Africa has been the focus of much research in the field of computing and development, there has been little focus on para-poor mobile technology development in the field of user-experience and usability -- specifically considering studies that include developing populations at the beginning of the user experience development process. This note serves to introduce research that incorporates guessability methodologies in mobile interface gesture usage as a platform for ethnographic studies in Kenya mobile technology usage in hopes of developing understanding and mobile gesture interfaces that can benefit both emergent and current user populations. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
