<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Colleagues,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I suspect there are some experienced users of
English For All (EFA) listening in on this discussion. Perhaps some of you, by
now, have had a chance to look at USA Learns. What do you think? Is USA Learns,
as John put it, EFA on steroids? Do you like the changes you see? Do
they address concerns you yourself might have raised about EFA? What changes are
you looking forward to using with your adult English Language distance
education learners?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you think that USA Learns has significantly
different low(er) level content than EFA?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do you agree that it makes sense to have everything
on the USA Learns web site? Do you think something has been lost by not
having print materials?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>What features, if any, do you think are
innovative, that make especially good use of a web site as a medium for
instruction?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How do you address the concern that someone
raised that learning English using distance learning might not provide enough
opportunity to use and practice the language?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>John, Jere, and Leslie, please feel free to add to
this list of questions for EFA users who might have by now spent some time
looking at USAL.</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> </FONT></DIV>
