Impact Evaluation of Digital Literacy Workshops in Rural Senegalese Youth: Three-Month Learning Outcomes Analysis in Ghana, 2009
Abstract
The study examines the impact of digital literacy workshops conducted in rural Senegalese youth, comparing outcomes from similar workshops in Ghana. The study employed a comparative design to analyse data collected from participants who attended digital literacy workshops in both countries. Data were analysed using standard statistical methods. In the Ghanaian workshop, 85% of participants showed significant improvement in basic computer skills by the end of three months, with themes emerging around improved internet navigation and email usage. The digital literacy workshops had a positive impact on the learning outcomes of rural Senegalese youth, particularly in enhancing their ability to navigate the internet and use email effectively. Further research should focus on long-term effects and sustainability strategies for these digital literacy programmes.
