Hi: happy Festive Season to all....

I wonder if you could let me have some information from anyone who is
CURRENTLY conducting research in the workplace basic skills field?

Joy Evans and I are currently revising the Workplace Module of the
Post-Graduate Diploma in Adult Basic Education which is delivered
on-line at Lancaster University.  (it will be running again in April,
part of an ongoing suite of modules - for more info see
http://www.lancs.ac.uk/fss/edres/study/diploma/diploma.htm).  This
course has been innovative in that it has included virtual 'meetings'
between course participants and researchers and academics from the
international community.

This year we want to give students some information on current and
ongoing workplace basic education research projects around the world,
and would appreciate some info about research which is currently taking
place - in particular, information about methodology and purpose of the
research, a brief description, and perhaps a link to a URL if
appropriate.  

We'll obviously acknowledge you in the course information booklet...
And if you reply off-list to me, I will do a digest of all replies and
send it back to the list....

Looking forward to hearing from you

Best wishes and thanks
