The central feature of each Open Learning Exchange is the Billion
Kids Library: a library that contains open and free basic whole-course
educational curricula appropriate for the elementary and secondary
school teachers and students of that particular location. These OLE
sites may be as small as an open-air classroom, or as large as a
nation-state. To help ensure that all library curricula effectively
meet the needs of patrons, each item in the Library can be evaluated by
member-users – both educators and learners - according to a robust and
refined objective standard schema. The OLE evaluation standards balance
objective assessment and subjective experience and are further vetted
automatically and objectively through a process linked to the
characteristics of the members who composed the evaluation. The goal is
to allow library patrons to define for themselves what is useful, and
then help those patrons find Library content that fits their individual
criteria.
One Laptop Per Child/South Carolina is a statewide partnership between the South Carolina Department of Education and the non-profit Palmetto Project.
