  What: Cliff Schmidt from Literacy Bridge

 When: Tuesday, April 1st at 12 noon

 Where: The Allen Center, CSE 203

 Join us tomorrow for the first Change seminar of spring quarter.  This
 week we will have a talk by Cliff Schmidt from Literacy 
 Bridgehttp://www.literacybridge.org/
 .


 *Abstract *Reaching remote villages with agriculture training and health
 promotion can dramatically reduce poverty, disease, and hunger. Mobile
 phones offer a solution in some cases: SMS messages can reach literate
 users, and voice calls can reach those who own a phone and can easily keep
 it charged. But in villages with 10% literacy rates, no electricity, and
 where most women don't own a phone, mobile solutions have failed -- and this
 is where you find extreme poverty. Radio broadcasts address these
 challenges but run into others: listeners must be available during the
 broadcast and they must remember everything they hear.  Illiterate users,
 who cannot take notes, must rely on their memories when the information is
 needed; otherwise, they need an on-demand solution. Cloud services and
 smart, connected, devices are increasingly able to distribute digital
 information right up to the last mile, but not beyond. Join us to discuss
 our experience leveraging mobile devices, but reaching beyond them with a
 simple, durable, audio device that provides on-demand messages while
 capturing metrics and user feedback to send back via mobile technology to
 cloud-based services.

 *About The Speaker*
 Cliff started Literacy Bridge in 2007, leading the development of an
 audio-based mobile device called the Talking Book for people with minimal
 literacy skills living in rural areas without electricity or Internet
 access. Literacy Bridge now partners with UNICEF to use Talking Books to
 reach 40,000 people with new on-demand content every six weeks. Cliff
 received the Microsoft Alumni Foundation Integral Fellow Award by Bill and
 Melinda Gates and was awarded a Clinton Global Initiative membership by
 President Bill Clinton. He received the top prize at the Tech Awards in
 2012 and Computerworld Honors in 2013, and was selected by the PBS Newshour
 as one of five Agents for Social Change in 2013.
