The crosswalk indicates segments of TV411 video and print that support EFF standards. This crosswalk is expected to be available soon for practitioners to try out, and EFF staff and ALMA staff are contemplating joint training activities in the future. For those not familiar with TV411, it is a half hour television show available on videos and with accompanying print workbooks that is designed for pre-GED adult learners. The show looks like real television--engaging and entertaining with popular entertainment and sports figures--and shows literacy and numeracy in the context of solving real-life problems. The emphasis on giving adults the tools for self-directed learning make TV411 an especially good fit for EFF users. Debby D'Amico
