Hello NIFL discussion list colleagues,

Audio and video resources have been used in adult education instruction for
many years, but the introduction of CDs, DVDs, the Internet, and other
electronic technologies has greatly expanded their availability and raise
many questions about implementation, support annd training.

I'm pleased to announce that David Collings, Technology Coordinator for the
Adult and Community Education Network in Delaware, and Alex Quinn,
Executive Director of the Adult Literacy Media Alliance (ALMA), will join
the NIFL Technology list as guests to lead a discussion on
current and emerging uses of media in adult ed. instruction in the
classroom and at a distance. Their discussion will take place next week
from Tuesday, February 28th through Friday March 3rd. Some of the areas
they will cover on this topic include: teacher training, technical support
for teachers and learners, the challenges of their use, media distribution,
and emerging uses and tools foor delivery of media.

You are encouraged to participate, ask questions, and share you experience
and knowledge.
