This is a follow-up to the projects that followed Sugata Mitra's Hole-in-the-Wall project. As we read in the abstract, "this study examined long-term sustainability and impact of the School in the Cloud (SC) initiative using Self-Organised Learning Environments (SOLEs)." It's not good. Seven of the eight projects have been discontinued, mostly because of lack of funding and change of leadership. Even so, write the authors, "qualitative evidence uniformly affirms the original educational promise. Former participants - now in college or employment - credit SC exposure with durable gains in English proficiency, digital literacy, internet search competence, and self-confidence." 16 page PDF.
