January, 2005
During the National Training Institute in New Orleans, you may recall that we demonstrated how some of your colleagues were using online surveys in gathering input from the field and stakeholders in their state planning processes. As we noted in New Orleans, for simple surveys, you can use the same free version at www.advancedsurvey.com. However, NAEPDC is pleased to announce that we have purchased a subscription to the enhanced version of AdvancedSurvey.com. If you plan on asking open ended questions that will involve a substantial response (more than 150 characters), you may need the enhanced version. As a service to our member states, NAEPDC invites you to use our subscription thereby saving you the $250 annual subscription price. If you are interested, contact Brenda James (brjames@naepdc.org) for the username and password. If you need any help as you develop your online surveys, feel free to call Brenda for technical assistance.

Applicants qualify for discounts of 20 percent to 90 percent of the cost of eligible products (Internet access, internal connections, and telecommunications services), depending on the number of students they serve who are eligible for free or reduced-price lunches and whether they are considered urban or rural. FOR MORE INFORMATION, GO TO http://www.sl.universalservice.org/. This announcement came from Fritz Edelstein at the US Mayors Association.
Support for Adult Learners VALUE, the national adult learner organization, is sponsoring the Fourth Adult Leadership Institute in Washington in March. If possible, please help support your adult learner representative’s participation. The Institute’s format is to provide adult learners with vital information and skills needed to enhance their own programs effectively and efficiently. For this year’s format, we’ve decided to blend leadership development with civics education for the Leadership Institute. We believe it’s important to get a better understanding of how the Federal Government works on handling the issues of adult education. Attached is a note from Barry Shaffer (MN) explaining how the Minnesota Adult Education office is supporting adult learner organizations and their participation in the Leadership Institute. Also attached is the VALUE announcement that gives the details. In the past, these Institutes have been an exciting learning experience for the participating adult learners. They have also been a learning experience for members of Congress and their staff members as they meet and talk with adult learners from their home districts. Thank you for whatever support you can provide. Keep up the good work. Let me know when we can help.
