It's called "CARET" and its goal is to bridge education technology research to practice by offering research-based answers to critical questions. CARET is a project of the International Society for Technology in Education in partnership with Educational Support Systems. CARET is funded by a grant from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Some the answers on research are in the areas of Student Learning, Curriculum and Instruction, Online Teaching and Learning, Professional Development and Assessment and Evaluation. http://caret.iste.org/ We here at NCFL have obtained permission to quote some of their findings. You should be able to do the same. Good luck! Helmer A.

May Sent: Tuesday, June 17, 2003 3:24 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-TECHNOLOGY:2880] Efficacy of technology with ABE learners Hello list members, I am a lowly admin./techie at a community-based NPO. I am writing a grant proposal for a program that will teach basic computer skills while teaching adult literacy/life skills. I would like to include a reference to some evidence that this method of instruction is more effective than a "traditional" one-on-one or classroom model. My questions for the group: is this true? Is instruction via technology more effective, or is that a misconception? If it is true, where can I get my hands on a study to read? I've had a hard time finding any research done on technology as a delivery method. I would appreciate any guidance. Thanks, Steve May Literacy Council of Reading-Berks 35 S.
