Previously,these schools had received basic training regarding effective integration of digital learning resources developed by OLE Nepal.
In school training are usually conducted in 4 – 6 weeks after the program is introduced in the school. The main purpose of this training was to review their implementation practices, discuss and suggest on the challenges faced by teachers while integrating digital learning resources in their teaching learning process. All the teachers who were part of the basic training (initial seven days training) were presented for In-school training program. The team also updated the school server, an offline digital library with latest content.
“E -Paati was introduced in my school in last Magh. I have experienced a lot positive changes in the way of teaching learning process of my school. Most importantly, this program helped to refresh different things which was taught during the basic training.”
