Abstract

We describe a two-year study of the use of facilitated video instruction in government primary schools in North India. The study involved deploying Digital StudyHall (DSH) in eleven schools, and following the progress of participating teachers in adopting the technology and pedagogy. The goal of the study was to evaluate the potential for large scale expansion of the DSH model into other government schools. Even though the system was used consistently, and was evaluated favorably by teachers and students, we found significant obstacles to scalability and sustainability of DSH in North Indian government schools.
