Open Learning Exchange Nepal (OLE Nepal) is a social benefit organization working to increase access to education through the integration of technology. Founded in 2007, the organization aims to increase the quality of education through the creation of open-source digital learning activities combined with teacher training. OLE Nepal's program is currently running in fifty schools in sixteen districts in partnership with Nepal Government's Department of Education (DoE) with support from development partners including the Danish Government's Local Grant Authority, United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Finnish Government's Funds for Local Cooperation. OLE Nepal and Nepal's DoE recently started the implementation of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) program in fifteen schools in three new districts. Students from different classes share a set of laptops but each student has one-to-one access to laptops and digital resources during class. In addition to significant cost savings, this model makes it easier for schools and teachers to manage the programs. History In early 2007, Rabi Karmacharya and Brian Berry left their jobs in the technology sector to launch OLE Nepal. Previously they had been part of a group of volunteers who had been meeting and discussing the possibility of leveraging the One Laptop Per Child laptops to address the challenges faced by educators in the country. They met and discussed with various educators, teachers, experts, activists, community leaders, donors, and government officials going on to form the Board of Directors, and registering the organization. In the process, they received much support from Mahabir Pun, a Nepali teacher and activist who created the Nepal Wireless Networking Project. Dr. Saurav Dev Bhatta also joined as one of the founding members when the organization was officially launched in September 2007. Current projects OLE Nepal's Information and communications technology (ICT) education programs are currently running in 50 schools in 16 districts across Nepal benefiting more than 10,000 students. OLE Nepal has also trained over 300 school teachers on how to integrate technology in classroom teaching/learning processes. OLE Nepal has prepared an extensive collection of interactive digital learning materials that are based on the school curricula. OLE Nepal has also developed a digital library that is installed on servers in each school. The introduction of laptops to students and teachers is accompanied by the following activities: Development and distribution of free and open digital educational content Preparing teachers to integrate ICT in classroom teaching Research and development of
