It would be most helpful if you could archive the discussion on National
institute for Adult Literacy LINCS web site. Thank you.

Subject: [SpecialTopics 66] Questions for ARCS Participants

Colleagues,

Tomorrow, Wednesday, May 31st, will be the last day to post questions  
for John and Ros about the ARCS.  The questions, comments and  
suggested resources so far have been great. I hope there are more.

I have two questions for participants:

1. Which preparation materials for this discussion did you find  
especially useful?  Would you recommend any of these to your  
colleagues? If so, which ones? (see below for a list of materials.)

2. Would you like to have the whole discussion archived (on the  
National institute for Adult Literacy LINCS web site or on the Adult  
Literacy Education Wiki -- or both)?

You could reply to the list --  specialtopics at nifl.gov --  or by e- 
mail to me at djrosen at comcast.net

Here's a list of the introductory materials:

1. 30-minute video panel discussion with ARCS researchers Rosalind  
Davidson and John Strucker, and practitioners Kay Vaccaro and Jane
