National Initiatives and Resources
Project IDEAL is a consortium of states working to develop effective distance education programs for adult learners. The Project IDEAL Support Center at the University of Michigan helps consortium states by developing training materials and web-based tools. The Center provides technical support in the areas of teacher training, research design, data collection, data analysis, and reporting. Through collaborative research and practice, we are working to provide quality distance education for adult learners across the country.
The central goal of TECH21 is to use the best of what information technology can offer to assist all adults to achieve their adult education and life goals. The project will bring together technology, teachers, and adult learners by doing the following:
OVAE's Technology and Distance Learning This U.S. Department of Education webpage provides research, best practices, and links to resources on distance learning.
LINCS Technology Training Special Collection The Technology Training Special Collection provides access to a variety of resources electronically. At this site you can explore resources dealing with using technology in teaching and learning, developing technology based resources and training users on the LINCS system. You will also discover professional development topics and current event information.
California Distance Learning Project The California Distance Learning Project (CDLP) goal is to help expand learner access to adult basic education services in California. This goal has four major tasks:
Kentucky Virtual Adult Education The Kentucky Virtual Education Web site (KYVAE), launched Oct. 1, 2001, is the result of a partnership between the Kentucky Virtual University (KYVU) and the Kentucky Department for Adult Education & Literacy (DAEL). The mission of the KYVAE site is to provide adult learner and instructor access to literacy information, curriculum, resources and services in an easy-to use and motivational format. The site is dedicated to helping adult learners achieve their personal learning goals, which include skills improvement, grade level goals and/or completion of the GED.
· Maine’s Distance Learning Pilot Project Report It is important to note when looking at the 2004-2005 Maine Distance Learning Report that it reflects the first year of a very small project in a small state. The sampling of five distance learning teachers is very small, but the comments in the overall report give an understanding of the successes and the roadblocks that we encountered in year 1. Continuing Maine's work with Project IDEAL during 2005-2006 and using the KET program, GED Connections, the plan is to increase the number of learners in year 2. At the end of this year, we will evaluate whether distance learning will work in Maine and how it will work. As with the first year, we are confident that we will again gain tremendous new insight as we learn how to provide distance education.
