AFAIK this is the first published report in a format somewhat akin to what people want to see when they ask for documented proof on how OLPC is actually operating in the field. I contrast that to blogs and PR efforts around the day of distribution of XOs.

The producer is a for-profit (?) consulting firm in Switzerland.

This is a report from Ethiopia, which was running a build in the 400's, and we're currently in the 700's of our software to give you an idea of progress. Further more it appears that Eduvision has published this report in attempt to get funding to do their own trial, so while they have some legitimate concerns about our system, their comments must be taken with a grain of salt.

They want to integrate the standard Ethiopian rote learning styles with the constructionist theories of the XO... ok, if they must I suppose.

So I have to say that probably not, no. There haven't been any reports or tangible results from pilots, only anecdotal.

The important question is: what are we going to do about it? Seth 21:51, 21 June 2008 (EDT)
