MELFA for Builders
MELFA for Builders is an English-isiXhosa learning application running on a Windows Mobile device. It contains interactive learning material for builders developed by the MELFA consortium in collaboration with the construction industry in the Western Cape, South Africa. The program comes with a speech engine, allowing the user to have all content read aloud in English as well as in isiXhosa.
The aim is to provide with an empowering tool for sills, literacy and language development as well as a tool that can aid on-site communication. Live demo is coming soon.

The mobile learning community has demonstrated that it can:
• Take learning to individuals, communities and countries that were previously too remote, socially or
geographically, for other educational initiatives.
• Enhance and enrich the concept and activity of learning, beyond earlier conceptions of learning.
