I am doing research for a Masters Program and am interested in any
information you may have about computer literacy in the workplace.  My
research question is "What are the benefits to businesses and
organizations if they fund computer literacy training for their
employees?"

	- I am looking to see if there is a link that shows that
computer 		literacy would enhance reading, writing and/or
numeracy skills.  
	- I am also looking for information about companies who have
offered 		their employees free computer literacy training
and the benefits 		that the companies or organizations
received by doing so.

I would certainly appreciate any input you may have.

Regards,
Judy Dyke

The ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education has 
developed three new Trends and Issues Alerts.

"Vocational Rehabilitation" (#31) by Michael E. Wonacott  identifies 
important issues and trends in VR that can affect the relationship
between 
VR and the One-Stop system including differing definitions of disability

and eligibility for services, availability and appropriate use of
services 
and resources from all partners, and consumer choice in selecting
One-Stop 
services.

"Somatic/Embodies Learning and Adult Education" (#32) by Sandra Kerka 
provides insights from sociology, dance, nursing, and adult education
for 
using somatic approaches to learning.

"Accelerated Learning in Adult Education and Training and Development" 
(#33) by Susan Imel examines some of the trends and issues
associated with accelerated learning, including the different ways the
term 
is defined.

They have already been posted to the ERICACVE listserv 
(http://ericacve.org/listserv.asp) and are available at no cost as an 
e-mail message, a PDF attachment, or in paper. They will be on our
website 
(http://ericacve.org) within a week.

Please send your request to ericacve@postbox.acs.ohio-state.edu and 
indicate which format you prefer. If you want paper copies, be sure to 
include your mailing address.
