One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) Australia is set to launch a new initiative centred on the Linux-based XO laptops the nonprofit organisation distributes
OLPC Australia CEO, Rangan Srikhanta, says that the organisation is pioneering a new initiative to build an educational ecosystem around the laptops. The program, One Education, is due to launch on 1 May and involves two student certifications that indicate a child is either qualified to use an XO laptop and offer support to other users — XO Champion — or qualified to offer support, fault diagnosis and repair — XO Mechanic. |
