Abstract

This report is a qualitative summative evaluation of the ICT in Education (ICT4E) Activity of the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) in the Caribbean. It specifically examines COL's ICT4E Activity in 3 Caribbean countries: The Bahamas, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago during 2009 to 2011. The ICT4E Activity is part of COL's Three-Year Plan which contains 2 major programme sectors: the Livelihoods and Health Programme Sector and the Education Programme Sector. Each programme sector contains 4 initiatives. The ICT4E Activity which is the focus of this evaluation, cuts across both programme sectors in that it is linked to the eLearning Initiative in the Livelihoods and Health Programme Sector and the Open Schooling and Teacher Development initiatives in the Education Programme Sector. The COL Three Year Plan and its 2 Programme Sectors are centred on 5 core strategies which are inter-related namely: Policy Support, Capacity Building, Models, Partnerships and Materials Development. This evaluation is focused on how the ICT4E Activity has implemented these 5 inter-related core strategies in the 3 Caribbean countries.
