Just Launched:
Tips for Distance Learning Resource Hub!
|
|
|
In response to the need for adult educators to transition from in-person to distance teaching, the EdTech Center @ World Education has created a new website called Tips for Distance Learning with resources to help adult basic skills programs scale up or launch distance education programs.
The site includes guidance on the first steps to take in planning, successful implementation (recruiting, onboarding, teaching, and assessing learners), and locating and evaluating online learning resources. We include information on how to meet virtually with students, links to offers for free or reduced online courses or curricula from publishers known to provide quality ABE learning resources, and a professional development events calendar.

Move Forward with Mobile Learning!
|
|

In addition to the Tips for Distance Learning website, the EdTech Center has also launched a new mobile learning (mLearning) website that provides guidance and resources for initiating or enhancing mLearning programming for adults with English language, literacy, and other basic skill development needs. The site includes a virtual Community of Practice (CoP) and online resource repository with tools, templates and resources for four key areas of mLearning implementation: outreach, onboarding, instructional support and evaluation.

Over the next few months, we will be offering a webinar series on resources and examples of effective use. Check out our calendar for upcoming events, and if you have a great tool or resource that isn’t on the site, please share it with us here!
