The NI ELVIS iLab project was born when students and faculty from Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU) in Nigeria, who had come to MIT over the summer of 2005, were given a donation of an ELVIS board and LabVIEW software to take back to Nigeria with them. Since then, the iLab Africa team at MIT has been working closely with them to develop new content and iLabs based on the ELVIS platform.
iLab Elvis experiment
The goal of the ELVIS iLab project is to use the ELVIS platform as a launching pad for guiding future iLab software development efforts in Africa, while enhancing the collaboration between MIT and African universities and adding value to the current iLabs architecture. Eventually, the experience accrued from these exchanges should form a basis for enabling OAU to become a hub for the development and deployment of iLabs in Africa.
