Abstract: The goal of this paper is to present the three experiences of the large-scale deployment of the One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) XO laptops in the Republic of Haiti, Birmingham, Alabama, and Mongolia. These experiences provide an overview of XO integration, in an effort to present both successes and challenges that can occur during such endeavours. While each deployment faced its own set of challenges, there were consistent lessons across each implementation to be drawn for large-scale deployments of innovative technologies.

Keywords: XO laptops; large-scale deployment; strong local leadership; grass-roots partnerships; support materials; technical infrastructure; one laptop per child; OLPC; Haiti; USA; United States; Mongolia; technological innovation; technology diffusion. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
