I have long felt that teachers need a place to post tools that they can share with others in the field. You seem to be working on an area where I believe there is much need: Adult Education Lab Administration Software for teachers. I would like to talk with you further on exchanging tools that you have found effective both in the areas of admin and learning. I will be happy to do the same. I will also send this e-mail to your personal address with some tools attached. Look Forward to Speaking With You, Nick Griffis Adult Education Inlet Grove H.S. Riviera Beach, FL 561-882-9967 -----Original Message----- From: nifl-technology@nifl.gov [mailto:nifl-technology@nifl.gov]On Behalf Of Richard T. Boone Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2004 11:05 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-TECHNOLOGY:3094] RE: Learning Technologies in Nova Scotia Project Jane: I run a small Workplace Literacy Lab in NJ. All content is delivered through the computer as we have no "Books" in the traditional sense. We incorporate a variety of systems delivery methods from streaming video, HTML/ASP based testing, full featured diagnostic and prescriptive educational programs that are client/server based , and a variety of single/lab pack stand alone programs. Additionally we allow students to employ a thin-client interface so students can access our server from home. I am in the process of developing other software as a learning aid. I would welcome any help or assistance from others who are/have developed programs such as html based login/logout programs to web based testing that will tie into databases ,track progress and email students/instructors when certain criteria are met. This stuff is fairly simple but I need others to keep me focused and to bounce ideas off of. I could also use educational content form those who have developed a lot of material and are looking to share this to help educate adult learners. I am not interested in any commercial products so please do not contact me in this regard. All are welcome to contact me at any time concerning the above.
