Hi Sridhar,<br>
No need for confusion, we are working on the same implementation of
collection of <br>
usage statistics, as we have similar requirements.<br>
<br>
I have been coordinating with Aleksey to accomodate our requirements
with his work. <br>
The only difference I see is that in Peru we can't count on having a
schoolserver so the <br>
client will have to cache some data.<br>
<br>
Locally, for the previous study we collected journals, browser and
error logs [1].<br>
Now user interaction events will be specifically recorded for
research and feedback. <br>
An implementation of this functionality at the Sugar level (or
X11+dbus)<br>
will facilitate research on use and metrics for improvement of the
user's learning <br>
experience.<br>
<br>
It would be wonderful if researchers could agree on what metrics we
would require to<br>
measure. I'm proposing from our previous experience to begin with
Activity Focus / unfocus<br>
as well as start/stop as a reference.<br>
<br>
I have been following OLPC-AU's process and consider your experience
a model for<br>
the Puno startup deployment.<br>
<br>
I am cc'ing Julián Cristia who is an economist working with the IADB
and one of the <br>
authors of quite an extensive Experimental Assessment of OLPC Peru
[2].<br>
Also cc'ing the Puno team.<br>
<br>
Warm regards,<br>
Sebastian<br>

<pre wrap="">I'm confused - there seem to be two implementations of what looks to
be the same thing!

Aleksey's (the first link) is being developed with input from OLPC
Australia. We are engaged with respected academic researchers to
professionally evaluate educational outcomes from our XOs. Ethics and
privacy issues are being taken care of. We hope that what we are
building here can be of benefit to the wider Sugar community as well.
It might be a good idea if we could pool our talents around one implementation.
