Measuring the Impact of "Hybrid" Digital Learning in Rural India

This project proposes a randomized evaluation of a “hybrid” digital learning program targeted at children in Grades 5-8 in Indian villages. We hypothesize that programs with appropriate high-quality digital content made available on easily accessible devices can improve learning outcomes and related skills, when implemented directly in communities with groups of children supported by appropriate social support structures. The evaluation will primarily aim to measure impact of the program on Math and English learning outcomes. The non-profit Pratham has developed and piloted the key elements of this intervention and will implement the program to be evaluated in 276 villages in India.
