6 criteria for successful ICT for Education implementations Infrastructure Maintenance Contents and materials Community inclusion Teacher training Monitoring and evaluation Answers to: Does IT Work?
• Administrative information • Attendance • Cognitive skills • Device use • Digital literacy • Divergent thinking • Enrollment • Exams • Grades • Homework • Infrastructure • Internet use • Literacy • Numeracy • PISA results • Teacher training • Maintenance efforts • Power consumption • Time on task • Total cost of ownership (TOC) • Use of different programs/apps • … Some relevant data sets
• Collecting data is very expensive and requires a lot of effort (e.g. remote rural schools in Peru). • Allowing different analyses on existing data. • Enabling verification of published evaluations. • Accountability of government spending. • …many other things we haven‘t even thought of yet. Why open data in education in the developing world?
• Laptops are great data collection tools. • Established efforts which are no longer pre- occupied with early stage issues. • Affinity to openness via FLOSS influence. • Increasingly under pressure to answer the „Does IT work?“ question. • Existing efforts in some countries (JM, NK NP, UY). • A diverse community of edu-tech-dev people. Why OLPC is a good platform/community for open data efforts?
• For children, parents, teachers: information on laptop use (e.g. time spent) • For teachers: attendance app (e.g. who attended, esp. in rural schools) • For administrators: infrastructure app (e.g. reporting breakages, scheduling maintenance) Possible quick wins
