Hello NIFL Technology colleagues,

Next week from Tuesday, February 28th through Friday March 3rd 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. 

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. 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. 

So if you are interested in media literacy, muti-media products, cutting
edge technology and distance learning this will be of interest to you. As
with past discussions your questions, contributions and professional wisdom
will make this a great learning experience for everyone on the list.

If you have any questions about the discussion please don't hesitate to get
in touch.

Regards,
Mariann
