Project Summary: (Please provide a brief statement about the purpose that the laptops will serve in your project site.) Laptops are going to be used in the following ways: During IT practical sessions. A good number of Laptops is needed so as to facilitate Learning through increasing the Tutor: Student Ratio. A practical session will have about 30 students at a time. Therefore to be able to increase the Tutor: Student Ratio, fewer number of students per laptop is needed thus enabling more students to practice the skills taught. Tutors can use the Laptops during session preparation, projection during class sessions and for processing as well as for storage of student performance records. With this need, we can arrange each of the 5 Departments to have about 3 laptops. Thus a number of about 15 Laptops could be enough for all Tutorial activities and for all Tutors at the Campus 2.
