EAFIT, a Colombian University, with financial support from Colciencias, the Infodev Program and other organizations, has been working on the Conexiones project since 1992. Conexiones developed an innovative model (now used in the classrooms of more than one hundred urban and rural schools), integrating pedagogical methodology, a computer literacy program (for teachers, students and community leaders), a technical support methodology (involving university students and more advanced trainees), a low-tech networking technology (using dial-up solutions to interconnect remote schools), computer interfaces and locally developed educational contents.
