Literacy for Every Adult Project (LEAP). Report of Learning Center Component.
Pastori, Sharon; And Others
This review of the activities of LEAP (Literacy for Every Adult Project), a free, basic skills tutorial program for adults, is divided into two parts. Part 1 provides the most recent assessment of the LEAP microcomputer learning center, which was funded in 1985 through a Library Services and Construction Act grant, and Part 2 details the early activities of the center shortly after its opening in the spring of 1984. Topics discussed in Part 1 include the spring, 1986, evaluation of the use of word processing and lesson plans for software programs, the value of incorporating computer aided instruction (CAI) in library-based literacy programs, requirements for a minimal program, and the expectations and realities of the LEAP learning center. Part 2 includes a discussion of the background and an evaluation of the project, a description of the LEAP learning center and its curriculum, a project summary and recommendations, and a 27-item bibliography. A sample lesson plan for use with software, interviews with LEAP learners, and a lengthy annotated bibliography of software programs used at the LEAP learning center are appended. (KM)
