Measuring the impact of technology donations

Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

A collaborative approach was used to develop the surveys, which was

distributed across participating schools

CONSULTATION APPROACH

Alignment Meetings

Bimonthly and additional calls (as necessary) were held with the WorkVentures

team across 12 months to develop detailed planning, risk management and execution

of a co-designed approach to school consultation and the impact measurement of

laptop donations. These calls were critical in providing direction and alignment across

Survey 1 and Survey 2, highlighting additional data sources to support understanding

of digital inclusion and in the testing of interim findings.

School Engagement

178 donated laptops were distributed across 6 participating schools in 5 different

states. Recipient schools were chosen at the discretion of the Australian Business

and Community Network (ABCN), with each maintaining student populations of

relatively lower socio-educational backgrounds. Communications with these schools

were managed by a representative from KPMG’s Corporate Citizenship team. This

included communications surrounding the two student surveys, correspondence with

a school principal and facilitation of an in-person interview with a recipient student.

DATA LIMITATIONS

Given the scope of this program of work, the survey dataset contains certain

limitations. These include;

Students selected to receive a laptop donation were chosen at the discretion of

recipient schools.

There is limited, no, or non available data obtained by Australian schools that

can robustly indicate what percentage of students at any given school are digitally

excluded. Due to the small number of participants in this study, extrapolation

of findings over a larger population cannot be made to ascertain the level of

nation-wide digital exclusion among school aged students.

71 responses were received for Survey 2 which does not reflect the entire

population of 134 responses within Survey 1.
