The Effect of Interactive CD-ROM/Digitized Audio Courseware on Reading among Low-Literate Adults.

Gretes, John A.; Green, Michael

Computers in the Schools, v11 n2 p27-42 1994

Compares a multimedia adult literacy instructional course, Reading to Educate and Develop Yourself (READY), to traditional classroom instruction by studying effects of replacing conventional learning tools with computer-assisted instruction (CD-ROMs and audio software). Results reveal that READY surpassed traditional instruction for virtually every identifiable group of low-literate adults. (JMV)
