Five new in-depth studies approved
Five new project in-depth studies will investigate relationships between public access ICTs and mobile phone use, community-level impacts of public access ICTs, the influence of public access ICTs on information ecologies, and the costs and benefits of public access ICTs.Preliminary results from the Collaborative Knowledge-Sharing Study: Busy Internet, Ghana
The Collaborative Knowledge Sharing Study investigates the way that people share knowledge, experience, and technologies among friends and strangers while physically co-present in cybercafés. Preliminary results show that 37% of respondents reported some deeper forms of computer sharing and collaboration with friends, family members, business associates, and even strangers. And a third of those people reported gaining knowledge and learning from the other user as their primary reason for sharing.Research Design: Assessing impact from four complementary angles
Although our basic approach remains the same, we're learning along the way and our thinking is evolving. This post summarizes the updates in our research design, articulated around four basic components: (1) Inventory and surveys that provide a big-picture view, (2) Focused studies of specific mechanisms through which public access impacts livelihoods, (3) An assessment of indirect and aggregated impacts, (4) A look at alternatives and complements to public access, focusing on mobile phones.Bangladesh infomediary inception trip report
