Hi all,
I don't want to preempt the upcoming discussion but this article a
colleague just shared with me will only be available to non-subscribers
for a few more days.  I think it might relate to the discussion topic,
but I would have sent it anyway.  It seems to me that, *in my dreams*, 
this technology could help our adult students, especially in relation to
issues of persistence and retention, as well as offering an alternative
to those on wait lists.

This article, "Mightier Than the Pen Alone" is available
online at this address:

This article will be available to non-subscribers of The
Chronicle for up to five days after it is e-mailed.

The article is always available to Chronicle subscribers at this

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
