Computer Literacy Programs in Rural Communities: Understanding Social Motivators

摘要

A successful computer literacy program designed for rural communities would need to work in a diverse set of conditions such as the lack of electricity, diverse student educational backgrounds, motivation levels, different levels of community engagement, community politics, and beliefs. This paper shares our experience with running computer literacy training camps in rural Andhra Pradesh, India, and how changing elements of the program can change the outcome of a program.
