The inspectors looked at things to improve and things to take back home and, as a highpoint, developed a shared framework for the evaluation of ICT in education. The P2P inspectorate report consists of two parts and describes the process and the outcomes of the inspectorates strand of P2P (P2P-i).

The first part describes the review process, including the main questions that the project focussed on. In the first chapter, the process of peer reviewing is described: how did the project partners go about it, what struck them and what would they do differently next time? This will be followed by a discussion of the main questions that inspectors addressed during the reviews: the context in which inspectorates operate, the instruments that are used by inspectorates to evaluate ICT and the expertise and effectiveness of inspectors. Short excerpts from the country reports based on each of the six visits are also included.

The second part of this brochure will focus on the joint framework development. Attention is paid to the methodology that was used to move from several pages of unsorted criteria to a more concise set that all inspectors agreed on and the problems that were encountered in doing so. Finally the areas Conditions, Use and Outcomes are discussed. What is meant by them, and how are they operationalised in terms of observable evidence pointers.

The report concludes by looking back on the process of P2P-I, identifying success factors and things to improve.
