{{cquote|I put in a netbook lab in a remote village in the mountains of the Dominican Republic that has no electricity, no potable water, no library, few books beyond government issue textbooks, and barely trained teachers. Using Kiwix, I was able to make all of Spanish Wikipedia available to the student offline. It is practically the sole source of information besides textbooks and is used extensively for reading and researching topics, both by the students in the village, and the graduates who have gone on to a highly rated high school in the suburbs of Santo Domingo. }} |

{{cquote|I am a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering who teaches courses on digital system design and computer architecture. Every term, I refer my students to look up the course title and main topics on Wikipedia. The coverage of Digital Electronics on Wikipedia gives the students a comprehensive and early view of what they will learn during the whole semester. The value of Wikipedia does not stop there. We can search for the related history of contributers to the field from the 19th century and up to now. Wikipedia contributes to simplifying my work as a professor, enriches my class material, and offers a unique collection of information that is hard to find in single text book. Thank you Wikipedia. }} |
