Can information technology preserve the short-term learning gains associated with adult education programs? This study estimates the medium-term impacts of a mobile phone module (Project ABC) that was added to a standard adult education curriculum and for which there were significant short-term impacts on educational outcomes. Two years after the end of the program, students in ABC villages had reading scores that were significantly higher than those in standard adult education classes, and women and younger students were better able to decode numbers. This can be partially attributed to more active mobile phone usage in ABC villages. Households in ABC villages also were more likely to own certain durable assets, had higher levels of food security, and were more likely to save. Overall, these results suggest that short-term learning gains associated with technology can persist, especially if students have the opportunity to practice using that technology after the end of classes.

ABC 可以导致持续 123 吗？技术增强型成人教育计划的中期影响

信息技术能否保留与成人教育计划相关的短期学习收益？本研究估计了移动电话模块（ABC 项目）的中期影响，该模块已添加到标准成人教育课程中，并且对教育成果有显着的短期影响。项目结束两年后，ABC 村学生的阅读成绩明显高于标准成人教育班的学生，女性和年幼学生的数字解码能力更强。这可以部分归因于 ABC 村庄更活跃的手机使用。ABC 村庄的家庭也更有可能拥有某些耐用资产，粮食安全水平更高，更有可能储蓄。全面的，
