MEMORE – An Environment for Monitoring the Use of Computers in Education
2014
The use of computers as teaching and learning tools plays a particularly important role in modern society. Within this scenario, Brazil launched its own version of the 'One Laptop per Child' (OLPC) program, and this initiative, termed PROUCA, has already distributed hundreds of lowcost laptops for educational purposes in many Brazilian schools. However, in spite of its importance, PROUCA program does not have tools that help managers monitor, understand and evaluate which curricular and extracurricular activities have been developed with the laptops. Therefore, this article aims to present MEMORE, a computational environment that provides management information about the use of laptops in PROUCA´s context. Teachers and administrators can take such information into consideration in order to evaluate and improve educational policies and pedagogical practices in schools.
