I would like the possibility of multiple modalities addressed: it has long been my intuition that technology reinforces skills instruction by using additional sensory input; following directions, reading the screen, then performing a specific task within the application could enhance basic skills acquisition. Also: practice of skim and scan techniques on relatively complicated pages such as Internet sites and e-mail launchers such as hotmail. Using only sites supposedly accessible to literacy-level students is not going to serve them in the wider world.

(E-learning is just a fancy term for the use of any sort of technology to deliver instruction). What questions do you have that you would like to see addressed by research? I'm preparing to write a brief that summarizes existing research in e-learning (a big area, actually) and applies it to ABE. Although there is some research in e-learning in ABE, as David pointed out in an earlier post this week, it is not a rich database. So, what questions do you have that you would like to see answered by research. Thanks in advance, Susan Imel (Ex-director of ERIC Clearinghouse on Adult, Career, and Vocational Education)
