The Changing Face of ABE: a look at online adult basic education
Join me for
a discussion about online learning for adult students at the basic education
level. The objective of this session is to address the questions: What
barriers and best practices do adult ABE students face? What are effective
online programming practices for students at lower literacy and numeracy
levels? In this
session, we will briefly take a look at the history of adult basic education at
Northern Lakes College*. In defining what adult basic education is, we
will explore how face to face programming has translated to the online
environment. Current research will be used to
facilitate discussion and the sharing of of perspectives on the basic education learner online.
*Northern Lakes College has been delivering basic education programming to residents of northwestern Alberta since 1970. The College services a region of 163,000km2, and currently has 21 campuses providing upgrading support to a diverse demographic of students, including rural, remote, First Nations and Metis learners.
