Title: Producing Learning Gains in India with the Group Teaching and Learning (GTL) Multimedia Hybrid in One-Computer Classroom
Issue: June 2006, Issue 16
DOT: dot-EDU
Summary: In many countries around the world where computers are being introduced in the classroom or in computer labs, the ratio of students to computer remains very high. In such contexts, teachers often have to devise solutions that are less than optimal since most educational software is designed for a user-to-machine ratio of one-to-one or two-to-one. In response to this challenge, dot-EDU's Technology Tools for Teaching and Training (T4) project in India has created a method of using educational software that adresses many of the conditions typical of developing country classrooms. The result is called the Group Teaching and Learning (GLT) Multimedia Hybrid.
