Computer Literacy: Staff Training. Final Report.
Maher, Elizabeth
A computer-literacy staff training program was designed to provide adult basic education (ABE) instructors and staff with basic computer skills. A curriculum using both Apple IIe computers and IBM personal computers was developed and software obtained. Eight instructors and nine administrative staff members of local literacy programs completed 10 hours or more of computer literacy training during the year-long program. After basic skills instruction, the program continued to assist each instructor in developing the skills necessary to evaluate educational software packages for inclusion in their curriculum. Additionally, the program sought to help instructors and staff use class management and reporting software as well as word processing, spreadsheet, and database software to improve efficiency in completion of administrative tasks involved in reporting on programs. Ongoing evaluation of the program showed that it had accomplished its objectives. (An appendix contains the following: a list of the software and equipment used; curriculum outline; software evaluation form and evaluation checklist; glossary; and illustrated instructions for using disks, the keyboard, and the disk drives.)
