Summary of project status and achievements:
During August, the LISa coordinator began and concluded Promotion 12 of computer classes. The classes began on 3 August and ended on 28 August, having offered students 20 days of instruction in computer use. More male students than female students were enrolled in intake 12, due to a lack of female applications. Advertisement for intake 13 was conducted as intake 12 was concluding, and intake 13 began on 31 August.
Classes continued to be held for 2 hours, with 30 minutes of practice time incorporated into the class schedule. As a result, student performance continued to be strong. The coordinator and the LISa instructor met to evaluate pre and post test results and to look for areas of weakness in the curriculum, but these were difficult to find. There were no clear patterns regarding questions that students failed to answer, and many of the lower percentages on knowledge gain on the post-test are actually caused by students who receive high scores on the pre-test, either through guessing or as a result of pre-existing computer knowledge.
Computer classes were relatively well-attended during August, aided in part by school vacation. Some students were lost to repatriation, but this number was low.
