OLPC: Its design and functions as educational technology (Spring 2008)
Principal Investigator: Dr. Carolyn M. Byerly Student Investigator: Bellarmine A. Ezumah
Intended Solicitation Message
My name is Bellarmine A. Ezumah and I am a PhD student at Howard University's
Mass Communications and Media Studies department. I am very interested in
the OLPC initiative - I worked as the Director of Instructional technology
at Trans Video Communication, New York, for seven years and I hope to study the effective ways of incorporating media and technology in teaching and learning. For my project in Qualitative Research class, I would appreciate an opportunity to interview about 4 (four) people from your company. The interview could be conducted over the telephone, via e-mail or by a visit to your Office at MIT.
I am hoping that someone involved in the laptop design as well as another with a direct contact with any of the countries that participate in your project will respond.
Before we start the interview, I will provide you with detailed information on the process and you will have the chance to sign a Consent Form. Additional information that conforms to the guidelines of Howard Universitys Institutional Review Board will also be provided.
I look forward to your response either by e-mail or by telephone. My cellular phone number is (347) 351-1422. I thank you in advance for your willingness to participate in this project.

For the visit to MIT I would hope to be there any time the week of March 17th (Spring Break) or at your convenience. Thank you!
