Hi, I'd love to hear your thoughts if you have any other suggestions. Most of the solutions suggested have been a struggle due to the need to download each and every file to each device in order to be accessible offline (we have limited internet) and also in order to have multiple levels of user access.

Ah, if internet is a problem you are somewhat limited. You could leverage a caching solution but it would still require internet at some intervals.

You never mentioned the sporadic internet access constraint, Nadia; otherwise, I would have mentioned an addtional solution component to alleviate the problem.

For nearly 3 decades, UNIX, Linux and its variants have had a marvelous tool called rsync. It has the ability to automatically replicate file content across networks based on configured rules. While MediaWiki (running on a Linux server) would be the optimal knowledge sharing repository for this initiative, IMO, the client desktops/laptops would just need the appropriate rsync client tools (Cygwin for Windows is available as FOSS) to replicate files automatically from the repository when internet connectivity is available.
