FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
May 1, 2000

TECHNOLOGY AND INTERNET ASSESSMENT (TIA) HELPS MEET REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDEN=
T
PLACEMENT FOR THE NATIONAL REPORTING SYSTEM (NRS)

Clearwater, FL =AD May 1, 2000 =AD H&H Publishing Company, Inc., today released
its new reporting features of the Technology and Internet Assessment (TIA).
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
