Research Assistant at CTEDTrotro: First Class Web Browsing in Rural Ghana2012 ~ 2012, located at New York University Abu Dhabi, is a multidisciplinary research center that focuses on combining economic principles, technological advances, and human-centric design to create innovative solutions for the problems experienced in emerging regions.

The quality of Internet connections around the world is

extremely varied and exceptionally poor in rural areas.

During an initial user study of aspiring Internet users in

rural Ghana we found that despite high enthusiasm and

investment of resources into computers, poor connectivity

and lack of computer knowledge deter Internet use. To

improve information access in these types of settings, we

take the approach of increasing the availability and usability

of web browsing. We designed TroTro (originally named RuralCafe), a web searching

and browsing system that maintains a first class user

experience despite fluctuating connectivity and a wide

range of user expertise. We report on results from usability

testing of TroTro at schools and Internet caf s in rural

Ghana. Our usability results show evidence that our system

allows both novice and expert computer users to enhance

their individual web experience, explore content across

different kinds of network conditions, and share resources

within their community.
