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
