dc.description.abstractIn this blog we outline the key learnings from our recent baseline assessments of learners in control schools using online assessments administered individually on tablets. We found that: 1. Using standardized digital assessment tools is possible, efficient, scalable, and removes variability associated with face-to-face assessments 2. Staffing doesn’t need to be complicated to deliver edtech evaluations 3. Think ahead and plan for the worst - systems integration and power interruptions 4. Potential digital skills gaps can be addressed using the language children know best 5. Support - from the provincial to the school level - is an important enabler
