On a Nintendo DSi, a student can partake in live tests or surveys that are set up by their teacher. Additionally, they can send drawings or photos through a drawing or DSi Camera board and have these display on a teacher's PC. Students can also work individually through preset tasks and create their own memorization cards. Once a Nintendo DSi unit is disconnected, all data sent during that session is lost and saved to the teacher's PC<ref name="functions">[https://web.archive.org/web/20100428091854/http://www.sharp-ssp.co.jp/ds/function.html 機能紹介 (Sharp System Products) (Archived)]</ref>.

Development started somewhere around 2007 with the project lead by Takao Sawano, challenging himself to make use of open source software. Seeing how many schools were using the Nintendo DS, Sawano's goal was to see how many Nintendo DSs could connect wirelessly to cheap laptops. Sometime later, Sharp System Products was offered to help with the development of applications.<ref>[https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/kg3j/vol1/index3.html Touch de Oboeru Hyakuninisshu: Chotto DSi Shiguredono (Nintendo)] [https://web.archive.org/web/20101120030211/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/ds/interview/kg3j/vol1/index3.html (Archive)]</ref>
