<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">In your first post last week you mentioned that you had been doing research on distance learning. I know you said you did not have a bibliography ready yet, but would it be possible to get some of the Authors, Journals, Books or online resources you have been reading. The list does not have to be comprehensive, but a starting point would be nice.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Thanks for your time last week. I enjoyed reading the thread immensely.</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">FYI, for the past 5 weeks I have been working with low level literacy students using a class that was 1/2 computer based and 1/2 person to person. I started out with five students, one wanted one on one tutoring, and the other 2 stopped attending, but the two that did remain made decent gains according to the Nelson-Denny reading test.</FONT></P>
