The Goodling Institute for Research in Family Literacy at Penn State 
and the National Center for Family Literacy are collaborating to 
develop and deliver an online Certificate in Family Literacy through 
Penn State's World Campus.  The Web-based certificate program will 
begin in May, 2003, with a course entitled "Introduction to Family 
Literacy."  The Certificate consists of 15 credits (5 courses) that 
may be applied toward a bachelor's or master's degree.  I would like 
to give all the details, but it is easier if you check out our web 
site <http://www.ed.psu.edu/goodlinginstitute/goal_2.asp>.  While you 
are at the web site, you might be interested in downloading the 
report "Family Literacy: A Research Agenda to Build the Future." 
Please contact me with further questions.  Nickie Askov
