Research into digital inclusion
within the Australian and global
context to inform key data
points to measure across the
two surveys.
Survey 1: 134 responses
Upon provision of laptops,
students were asked to

formed the baseline
measurement of students’
accessibility, ability and
affordability to digital
connections and devices.
Interim research and
analysis
Analysis of Survey 1 results
supported by research into
ICSEA, IRSD, and ADII data to
identify trends and relationships
with digital inclusion.
Survey 2: 71 responses
Approximately 9 months after the
provision of laptops, students
were asked to undertake a survey
which measured the impact
donations have had on their ability
and accessibility to connections
and devices.
Final Report

changes in accessibility,
improvements in digital literacy
