However, capitalizing on this promise for adult literacy involves more than simply plugging in a computer. As we look back on a decade in which technology became widely available and used by more than just computer geeks, questions abound. Which applications are proving to be practical for adult learning? What new technologies offer innovative instructional possibilities for reaching and benefiting adult learners? And beyond the technology itself, what additional barriers need to be overcome to expand the reach of adult literacy programs? These questions will be the focus of PBS LiteracyLink's May 3rd live satellite Videoconference, *Reaching Adult Learners in New Ways. Produced in cooperation with WHYY/Philadelphia, this FREE live videoconference is targeted for ABE, ASE, and ESL teachers and administrators. Featuring a panel of experts with glimpses of promising practices from the field, the event includes an opportunity for interactive question and answer via phone and fax. · See how adult education programs are incorporating current technologies (video, the Web, and software) in effective and innovative ways · Discover the instructional possibilities of enhanced (digital) television · Explore which community partnerships can overcome barriers to expand resources and increase access.
