About the Case Study

OLE Rwanda  is engaged in two parallel projects involving different approaches to the use of technology as learning devices with students.   One project involves using the Siyavula Project content from South Africa with the XO laptop (OLPC). The second involves the TeacherMate program of basic literacy and numeracy.  OLE Rwanda will compare the cost-effectiveness of these two technologies for acquisition of basic skills in literacy and numeracy. 

This case will present the ways that the outcomes of these two different projects can be compared for their cost-effectiveness at the first few elementary level grades.
