The TIA is a nationally normed, valid and reliable, Web administered self-assessment of computer literacy skills. TIA's new computerized delivery system allows instructors to access students/clients pre-post test results securely via the Web at any time. Data is displayed in an easy to read format which can be printed or downloaded to quantify client improvement required by the National Reporting System (NRS). The NRS establishes the measures and methods to conform to the Workforce Investment Act requirements. "The new reporting features will help meet the requirements for student placement for the National Reporting System," said Mike Ealy, author. "Adult Basic Education programs can use TIA for documentation of placement, progress and completion for basic computer training." You can locate a sample of the assessment and request a complimentary copy of the User's Manual at http://www.hhpublishing.com/TIA/ . The TIA was developed in response to the growing need to assess the technology skills that are critical for workplace and academic success. It focuses on eight areas that present barriers for individuals seeking employment and those striving to succeed in our educational system. The eight scales are: * Use of Technology * Specific Computer Skills * Acquisition of Technical Knowledge * Basic Internet Knowledge * Internet Information Skills * Adapting to Technological Change * Impact of Technology * Ethics in Technology For more information, contact Robert Hackworth, Director of Marketing, H&H Publishing Company, 1231 Kapp Drive, Clearwater, FL 33765 (1-800-366-4079).
