Abstract
The current trend of integrating technology in learning at all levels of education system has also impacted Fiji primary schools. The effort to integrate elearning in primary school began with the launch of ‘One Laptop per Child’ project in three primary schools whereby each school received fifty XO laptops. The impact of this intervention was investigated after 1.5 years of project
implementation. The study reports learners’ and teachers’ generally positive perception of elearning and highlights some challenges. The impact on learners’ social, behavioural and cognitive skills holds promise. The need for continuous professional development and elearning
policy to ensure support for teachers is one of the major implications of this study.
