report cover(by Jean L. Kunz and Spyridoula Tsoukalas, 2000, 47 pp., #586, $15.00)

Computers are increasingly being used as a tool for teaching and learning basic literacy skills. This report examines the extent to which adult literacy students and teachers in Ontario use computers and the internet, the benefits and challenges of using computers in basic adult education, as well as students' and teachers' own views on computer-assisted learning. It also provides some useful resources for practitioners and learners who are interested in using computers and the internet to improve their literacy skills.
