Low-cost ICT devices in education: An update
Michael Trucano. EduTech, World Bank. 01-October-2009.
“Back in 2005 when I was with infoDev, we started maintaining a list containing A short inventory of known projects related to ‘low cost ICT user devices for the developing world’, with special attention to the education sector. … For a good while it was (after the home page) by far the most downloaded item from the infoDev site. … A lot has changed since we first put this list together. … It should be no surprise that, five years on, the list is beginning to show its age, and infoDev is now updating it.”
gml: The existing list was started in 2005, but it appears to have been updated as recently as 2008. See the Quick Guide Briefing Sheet. It’s an impressive list indeed. Trucano provides a link to an online form that will let you contribute to the new list.
