- Summary:
-
The Houston Regional High-Technology Delivery System Model for Adult Literacy meets the need for a technology-based system to deliver instruction in basic literacy skills. The system provides multilevel instruction in reading, writing, and computation skills to out-of-school youth and under-educated adults. A variety of technologies are used to serve the students through technology-based literacy centers, in their homes, and through community centers, such as schools and libraries. Prior to developing the system, a high-school dropout study was completed and a systematic approach was taken to identify the following: resources, student needs, skills for entering the job market, suitable electronic transmission systems, and available instructional materials compatible with the systems. (This report describes the conduct of the project and includes many schedules used in developing the project: organizational contacts, recruitment guidelines, basic skills needed for entering the job market, room designs for adult literacy center and satellite center, a resource list of literacy videotapes, adult literacy projects, project evaluation, and public television involvement plans.)
