SUMMARY:Webinar: Assessing learner progress and attendance monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Discussion question: What role can mobile technology play
  in assessing learners' progress and attendance monitoring in low-reso
 urce settings?  \nDespite huge strides being made in access to educat
 ion, this has not transpired into learning for all. While we would ver
 y much like to include a killer fact here on exactly how many childr
 en are in school and are not learning, the truth is that nobody is qu
 ite sure.\nIn the upcoming webinar, Sarah Pouezevara (RTI Internatio
 nal) and Mike Dawson (Ustad Mobile) will discuss how they are levera
 ging mobile technology to assess learners’ progress and monitor atte
 ndance in low-resource settings. \nPresenters\nSarah Pouezevara – 
 Sr. eLearning Specialist, RTI International\nTopic Using Tangerine(TM
 ) to capture learning (and teaching!) progress in low-resource setting
 s.\nProfile Sarah was one of the original designers of the Tangerine 
 data collection system, which is widely used for large-scale early gra
 de reading and math assessments in low-resource contexts.  Over the p
 ast 6 years, since its first use in Liberia in 2010, it has evolved to
  serve many purposes apart from sample-based data collection. I\nMike 
 Dawson – CEO Ustad Mobile\nTopic Real-time school monitoring (Indi
 a)\nProfile\nMike is the CEO and co-founder of Ustad Mobile; a social 
 enterprise that develops low-cost technology  to empower educators. Â

 ncome area including 7 years in Afghanistan. Mike will present their p
