Ghana To Improve Literacy Skills Through Its Open Learning Exchange

Using affordable technology tools, Ghana’s Open Learning Exchange (OLE) is introducing innovative teaching and learning models which is bound to make learning a more exciting experience which is set to improve the literacy levels.

These tools include the Raspberry Pi server, which houses the OLE’s Basic eLearning Library (BeLL).

This Raspberry Pi is a small computer that uses an ARM 11 processor running at 700MHz with 512MB RAM, and it uses much less power than a PC, and takes up much less space; and is designed to work on and/or off the electric grid as well as the Internet.

This will ensure that even in resource limited areas, students will be able to use this high quality device. OLE said the Ghana National BeLL network will be used to update each of the School BeLLs periodically with new resources.

A feedback functionality worked into the BeLL system will then send usage data (such as pupils and teacher comments and ratings of the effectiveness of the resources) to the Ghana BeLL, from where such data would be made available to educational authorities, curriculum developers, resources developers, among others.

OLE further added that it will provide unprecedented rich data that can help improve the effectiveness of the learning materials and strategies that are developed for achieving universal child literacy.

It is an alarming situation that prompted OLE Ghana to team up with World Vision Ghana to launch the Ghana Reads project.

OLE Ghana director Kofi Essien told the press that the Ghana Reads project, currently being piloted in 28 schools, is providing low-cost tablets, hand-held technologies to school children backed by effective pedagogy and teacher support strategies in order to increase access to high quality, interactive learning resources in the classroom.
