The Digital StudyHall (DSH): Mediation-Based Pedagogy
http://dsh.cs.washington.edu/info/descr_pedagogy.html
The principal means of disseminating the content in the DSH database is shipping DVDs to spoke schools. Each spoke school is given at least a TV and a DVD player. (Many schools also need a big lead-acid battery and a DC-to-AC inverter for dealing with intermittent electricity.) An obvious question is whether kids can learn by just watching TV. The short answer is no. The longer answer concerns pedagogy. 169 2005-2012 The Digital StudyHall.

The Digital StudyHall (DSH): Partners
http://dsh.cs.washington.edu/info/partners.html
To the first order of approximation, we at DSH see ourselves as "plumbers." We do not build schools from scratch. Instead, we work with existing schools, organizations, and teachers: they get to do what they have always wanted to do, but with the aid of a "digital pipe" that DSH helps them set up, they can now hopefully reach a larger population of under-served children more effectively. Here's a partial list of some of our partners:. Study Hall Education Foundation, Lucknow. St Mary's Polyclinic, Lucknow.
