Are you interested in learning how to create your own web 
pages as an educational tool? Then the Compass Project live 
web cast training is for you!

The Workforce Improvement Network at James Madison 
University in Virginia is exploring the possibility of 
offering its Compass Project training through the Internet 
via a live web cast. The Compass Project teaches ESOL 
instructors and tutors and adult educators how to use a 
simple, web-based program to create web ages. This knowledge 
can then be used as a learning tool to help master oral and 
written English language skills. The project, funded through 
an EL/Civics grant from the Virginia Department of 
Education, was originally created for use in the ESOL 
classroom, but is applicable for GED and basic skills 
classes as well.

To see examples of web pages created by Compass Project 
participants, go to http://compass.vawin.jmu.edu/.

Groups will be limited to five participants, and dates and 
times will be determined based on interest. If you’re 
interested ore would like more information, please send an 
email to Pamela Brown at brownpg at jmu.edu, or call her at 540-
568-8797 or toll free at 888-637-8494. The web cast will be 
scheduled as soon as possible if at least 5 people sign up; 
additional sessions will be scheduled if necessary. Please 
respond by March 1, 2005.
