Distance Learning Program for Delivery of Adult Basic and Secondary Education. Program Year 1986/87. Final Report.
Tucker, John D.
The purpose of a project was to develop a comprehensive distance learning system for undereducated adults not being served through traditional adult education classroom instruction. Odessa College (Texas) developed and implemented a televised delivery system for General Educational Development that complemented and supplemented existing adult education programs and could be incorporated into regular program operation without significantly increasing program costs. Activities included the formation of an advisory board, broadcast within a 40-mile radius of Odessa, publicity, student enrollment, and development of a project implementation manual. Project products were an enrollment form, student contact and support services forms, outline for plan to assist business/industry/agencies, sample questionnaire to verify contact hours, student response sheets, supplemental workbooks and exercises, and a project implementation guide. (Appendixes include the project products and other materials and correspondence. Attachments are comprised of sample questions to verify contact hours; student response sheets and questionnaires for contact hours for reading and science, social studies and writing, and math; and the supplemental guide for the math workbook.)
