A Model of How Children Acquire Computing Skills from Hole-in-the-Wall Computers in Public Places
This paper explores the possibility of constructing a "minimally invasive" learning model from the results of a Graphical User Interface (GUI) Icon Association Inventory (devised by Dangwal and Inamdar [Mitra 2003]). We discuss the results obtained from four playground (hole-in-the-wall) computer kiosk sites in southern India, made freely available to children, without supervision, for nine months. Computing skills acquisition, as measured by the…
Acquisition of computing literacy on shared public computers
Earlier work, often referred to as the "hole in the wall" experiments, has shown that groups of children can learn to use public computers on their own. This paper presents the method and results of an experiment conducted to investigate whether such unsupervised group learning in shared public spaces is universal. The experiment was conducted with "hole in the wall" (minimally invasive education, or MIE) computers in 17 locations in rural India.…
Stilbirth in the City of Bombay
Stillbirth is to be encountered in every human population and its causes are the same everywhere, although the magnitude of the contribution of specific causes differs in time and place. In countries where the medical and social services available to the expectant mother have recently undergone a rapid development and where records relating to stillbirth have been maintained for many years, it has been observed that as the standard of living has …
