Planning to evaluate?
Mike,
You and I both share a great desire for the OLPC program (or any big ICT implementation) to have a good evaluation, but I am sad to hear that IADB is just now proposing an OLCP evaluation process. I would have hoped a "rigorous randomized evaluation of the OLPC project" would start before implementation, not 2 years in.
I guess better late than never, eh?
I just hope that IADB looks beyond official channels. At OLPC News, we've found that Peruvian volunteers have a much different opinion on implementation success than Peruvian officials: http://www.olpcnews.com/countries/peru/olpc_peru_far_from_goals.html
