  • Affordable Computing for Schools in Developing Countries a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Model for Education Officials
    Affordable Computing for Schools in Developing Countries A Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Model for Education Officials Executive Summary Education decision-makers face the challenge of equipping young people with the skills necessary to compete in the global economy and need information and tools for formulating effective policy. This white paper discusses key issues related to technology in education and presents several major findings, including: • Academic research and private-sector investment decisions indicate that computers in schools contribute to improved academic outcomes, boost a nation’s economic competitiveness, and attract job-creating economic investments. • Governments need to consider the entire cost of school computing solutions, rather than merely the initial expenses. A total cost of ownership model takes into account recurrent and hidden costs such as teacher training, support and maintenance, and the cost of replacing hardware over a five-year period. • Support and training are recurrent costs that constitute two of the three largest costs in the total cost of ownership model. They are greater than hardware costs and much higher than software fees. • Ultra-low cost computers and Linux-based solutions are relatively equal in cost to traditional hardware and proprietary software solutions because they require higher labor and replacement costs over a five- year period. • The total cost of ownership for different computer types and software platforms is relatively consistent. Critical success factors, such as IT ecosystems and platform stability and longevity therefore need to be considered in affordable computing decisions. Introduction Developing-country education budgets are increasingly strained by greater numbers of young people and rising expectations among students and global markets.

    DELL VS. COMPETITORS: NETBOOK ABRASION AND SOLVENT RESISTANCE RESISTANCE OUR FINDINGS OUR PROCESS In today’s educational environment, institutions are To gauge the durability of each netbook system, we eager to get the most for their computing dollar, performed a custom abrasion resistance test, in which which means buying systems that last. In Principled we measured the physical damage that resulted when Technologies’ tests in our labs, as the above graphic we dragged each netbook across a ceramic tile floor. shows, the Dell Latitude 2110 netbook is more We also conducted a solvent spill test to determine resistant to abrasion and solvents than its closest how well the systems could withstand exposure to competitors are. The ability of the Dell Latitude 2110 various solvents that we spilled on a closed lid. to withstand abrasion and solvent spills make it an excellent choice for an educational institution, where netbooks need to last. JUNE 2010 A PRINCIPLED TECHNOLOGIES TEST REPORT Commissioned by Dell Inc. PROJECT OVERVIEW We tested the abrasion and solvent resistance of the following 10 netbook systems: Acer® Aspire® One 532h Apple® iPad™ ASUS® Eee PC 1001P ASUS Eee PC 1201T Dell™ Latitude™ 2110 Equus® NOBi Convertible HP Mini 2102 Lenovo® IdeaPad® S10-3 Lenovo IdeaPad S10-3t Lenovo ThinkPad® X100e To test the exterior scratch resistance of the netbooks, we dragged each across a commercial-grade ceramic tile floor. We completed three runs, and had a panel of three judges make their assessments after each run. Judges assigned a score of 1 to 5 for least to most scratches, which we then averaged for each test run.

  • The OLPC XO, Intel Classmate PC and Asus Eee PC User Study
    The OLPC XO, Intel Classmate PC and Asus Eee PC user study Submitted in partial fulfilment Of the requirements of the degree of Bachelor of Science (Honours) Of Rhodes University Constance Sibanda Grahamstown, South Africa November 2009 i Abstract Information communication technologies (ICTs) are increasingly considered valuable tools in education, promoting higher cognitive processes and allowing teachers and learners access to a wealth of information. However, these technologies are not easily accessible in developing countries such as South Africa, where a large percentage of the population are poor and are said to live below the breadline. The recent creation of small, low cost and low powered laptops called netbooks, are seen as possible solutions to allow or promote the use and integration of ICTs in education in these disadvantaged communities. This project evaluates the intuitiveness of the OLPC XO, the Intel Classmate and the Asus Eee PC in the context of secondary school education through the use of a user study. The user study involved three teachers and three learners from local secondary schools in Grahamstown. The results of the user study revealed that the teachers and learners (on the whole) felt that the Intel Classmate is the most intuitive netbook for secondary school learners involved in the user study. The presence of the VGA port and the portable nature of the Asus Eee were noted by participants as advantageous. The Asus Eee was also found to be appropriate for secondary school education although it was criticised for its small screen, small keyboard and absence of a webcam. Participants felt that the OLPC XO is less intuitive for secondary school educational purposes and is better suited for small children.
