Teaching programming in rural areas using FOSS
summary
A course teaches Java programming to rural Andhra students entirely on smartphones and shows it is viable despite tiny screens and power cuts. Teaching uses Termux, JavaN-IDE, Moodle and Git plus recorded videos; one student pair runs a full semester project with one phone (Termux + JavaN-IDE) and one laptop. Play-Store removal is handled by rebuilding APKs from GitHub. Students keep submitting assignments and doing peer reviews, so the setup works in practice.
