I know that the goal is rather broad and have initially limited the search to what software and hardware a subset of computer labs in ABE and Adult ESL programs might have. In the process of developing web based instruction for recent immigrants, we have needed to make minimal requirements to access the site and also predict what might be available when the web sites begin to go public in August of next year. Since we know that the access of adult ESL learners is probably related to what is available for their teachers, that information would also be helpful. We have searched the last year of this distribution list, over the web at the typical search engines, in ERIC, Harnessing Technology to Serve Adult Literacy (http://www.alri.org/harness.html), NIFL site, http://www.literacyandtechnology.org/, etc. Keywords used started out specifically but we've settled with /adult education/ and /technology/ to try to catch whatever subsection of a study that might contain some information. Can anyone suggest a more specific query? Our last recourse will be to conduct our own survey so if anyone else is interested in cooperating either as a provider of info or as a collector of the information, please contact me.
