1. MOTIF
Open Knowledge Share Dreams
SNOW started as a way to promote
the active sharing
of intellectual contents online
in knowledge-based contemporary society.
As more and more high quality educational content
Becomes available online for free at a rapid pace,
We searched for the key factors on
why Korean students had difficulties making use of this content.
First, the barrier of language
making them far from accessible.
Second, the trouble of finding proper content
among the immensely scattered material.
Third, the lack of guidelines to find
and to utilize the content.
Now, we march to overcome
these difficulties with sharing knowledge.
