I wonder if any of you have come across any recent books, articles, publications,
that would help us explore Online Literacy (referring to reading, writing,
comprehension only here).  Our two main research questions (still needing better
definition--but . . .) are:

1. At what stage do learners start to become independent learners online?
2. What supports do learners need to become independent learners in an online
environment?

We are focusing on the first four International Adult Literacy Survey Levels of
literacy here. (Roughly equivalent to grades 1-8--that is they already know the
alphabet and have very basic computer literacy skills)

Would appreciate any help you may be able to provide.
