HOW to best integrate eLearning

Intel designed a new research methodology to address HOW to best integrate ICT.

Research Value:

• Guide eLearning Deployments• Mitigate Risk via real-time course

corrections• Lessons learned and country

Deployments Studied

• Argentina, Conectar Igualdad Program– Presidential mandate with aligned federal vision, support and financing – Phased rollout of 3Mu to public secondary schools nationwide

• Brazil, Pirai Municipal 1:1 Program– Municipal 1:1 eLearning program that informed federal UCA program– 5.5ku to all citywide schools, 560 teacher laptops

• Macedonia, Computer for Every Child Program– National program organized Ministry of Information Sciences (MIS)– 55ku for students grades 1-3, 22ku netbooks for teachers

• Portugal, Escolinha (Magellan) Program– National govt vision with strong ministry and initial financial support– Annual ~200ku rollout with 420ku distributed to students grades 1-4 (1st

cycle) by end of 2009

• Turkey, Kocaeli Municipal 1:1 Program– City envisioned, managed & financed program– Annual 27ku rollout, 54ku to date, target 130ku by 2013 – MoE oversees distribution, pedagogic integration

Outcome: Deployment Framework

Vision Planning Implementation Evaluation & Adaptation

11

Vision: Lessons Learned

• Need for program champion• President, Prime Minister, Minister of

Education, Minister of ICT

• Establish program priorities, goals, indicators• Brazil: social inclusion, ed transformation• Portugal, Turkey, Argentina: social inclusion,

local economic development• Macedonia: ed transformation, local

economic development

• Innovative funding models• Portugal: 3G spectrum auction proceeds• Brazil: local, low interest borrowing from

federal fund; fixed-price, tax-free purchase from local manufacturer

• Argentina (Buenos Aires): ICT solution as a service – monthly fee to supplier

12

Planning: Lessons Learned

• Engage expanded set of stakeholders• Include constituencies critical to achieving stated goals• Need supportive educational leadership for

pedagogical change• Independent program committees can arbitrate

differences• Brazil (Pirai pilot): consensus approach with

administrators, teachers, parents

• Map objectives to actionable steps• Focus on in-school use (Macedonia) or family access

(Portugal, Turkey)• Tailor content & training to target audience (Argentina)

• Plan for feedback & adjustment mechanisms• Aim for bold vision but allow for mid-course corrections

& innovation• Scale over time; incremental steps grow available pool

of experts to smooth implementation• Turkey: focus on 6th grade and add one new class

each year• Argentina: Monitoring and Evaluation Program for

continuous improvement

13

Implementation: Lessons Learned

• Sequencing of roll-out• Aim to have infrastructure (power, connectivity,

security) in place before distribution• Teacher training should be timed with distribution• Ongoing need for development & distribution of

relevant digital content

• Stakeholder engagement and training• Engage key stakeholders (teachers, administrators,

parents)• Brazil: temporary distribution halt to provide

additional teacher training• Argentina: online teacher trainings; annual

teacher awards• Training should focus on both ICT skills and

pedagogical strategies

• Operations and management• Plan for ongoing maintenance (HW & SW)

14

Evaluation: Lessons Learned

• Need for ongoing formative assessment as feedback loop• Argentina: ongoing qualitative monitoring of

deployments to enable adjustments over time

• Summative assessment also important but longer term• Portugal: engaging third-party monitoring to

assess effectiveness; began in years 2-3 of program implementation

• Try to capture learning from both planned activities and unplanned adaptations• Source of ideas for future innovations• Ensure learning is disseminated broadly

15

Nationwide

• 1:1 eLearning at 250,000 high schools, with plans to reach three million students

• Intel® Teach: 100,000 teachers learn to integrate technology and 21st-century skills into classrooms

• National and regional purchase programs for students, teachers, and community members

• Students developing 21st century skills

Argentina wants to be seen as the Latin American leader for digital inclusion.

Challenges• Teaching & education

quality• Education inequality &

digital literacy gap• Economic development

Conectar Igualdad Program Argentina

Solutions• Secure funding• Large-scale, country

wide rollout of netbooks• Strong collaboration

• federal & provincial• public & private

BKM• Strong leadership• Independent oversight• Early consideration of all

components to transform education

17

Call to Action

• Take measures steps toward visionary goals, but leave room for innovation.• Develop a feedback loop with real-time

formative assessment• Practical realities require course correction• Scale over time

• Engage a broad cross-section of stakeholders.• Seek balance of timeline & stakeholder buy-in• Plan for horizontal and vertical coordination

• Form a third-party organization for program coordination

• Adopt a distributed model for program preparation. Assume flexible stance.
