In October of 2001, KET and the Kentucky Department for Adult
Education and Literacy launched an online training site designed to help
Kentucky's adult educators prepare to teach their students about the new
version GED exam, which was to come into use in January of 2002.
This free site, located at http://www.ket.org/ged2002, has been visited
by teachers from all 50 states, and several countries. The site counter
is at 79,226 visitors as I write, and I watched as seven new teachers
registered in the minutes after 2 p.m. today.
There are several reasons this site has been so successful :
* timely delivery of information that was new, and greatly needed
* the graphic interface of the Internet permits samples of graphic
literacy questions
* simulation of alternate format questions, with immediate scoring
and feedback
Please visit!
