Coll. feedback request X-Listprocessor-Version: 6.0c -- ListProcessor by Anastasios Kotsikonas Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Status: O Content-Length: 2735 Lines: 60 To make this site more attractive to people involved in workplace education, it needs to deal with workplace issues rather than the whole spectrum of adult education issues. Those of us in the field are wrestling with WIA and the NRS and these topics are seldom mentioned. I think most of the discussion is among those interested in theory rather than those in the trenches. We also have many questions about Workbased Project Learners. None of these issues is addressed so the interest is low.
