2. Curriculum Deliberation Online (2003)
Part 3
Series: Collaborating Online In Adult Literacy
Authors: L. Herod
Collection: Research Materials
This is the third of three articles about the author's research into the curriculum deliberation process in an online environment. This article discusses the potential and promise of the deliberative process for the Canadian adult literacy community should the pan-Canadian electronic conferencing system recommended in the report, “First Steps: Towards a Pan-Canadian Literacy Electronic Conferencing System” be put in place.
The study was conducted as a requirement of the author's Doctor of Education program with the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto.

3. Integrating Technology into Canadian Adult Literacy Programs: the Need for a Curriculum Deliberation Process (2000)
Authors: L. Herod
Collection: Research Materials
For adult literacy practitioners, the issue of whether or not to integrate computers into the curriculum is the subject of some debate, not least because resources are scarce. This paper discusses various factors surrounding this issue and identifies the need for a curriculum deliberation process in the field of adult literacy.

4. Integrating Technology into Canadian Adult Literacy Programs: Curriculum Evaluation Considerations (2000)
Authors: L. Herod
Collection: Research Materials
The integration of technology, especially computers, into adult literacy teaching is generally considered a good idea, although there are definite concerns. Three such concerns include:
1) philosophical (i.e., the place of technology within literacy teaching and learning);
2) the practical (i.e., the use of very scarce resources--money, time and personnel--to support technology); and,
3) the educational (i.e., the effectiveness of technology with regard to literacy teaching and learning).
This paper explores the concept of curriculum evaluation and the changes that result from the integration of technology into adult literacy programs.

Authors: L. Herod
Collection: Research Materials
This is the second of three articles about the author's research into the curriculum deliberation process in an online environment. This article expands on those findings following the author's analysis of the data. More in-depth information is provided about the process including a set of guidelines for educators/researchers who may wish to convene a deliberation activity. Also provided is an example of the richness that can be gained from mining or analyzing research data.

7. Online Curriculum Deliberation by Adult Literacy Stakeholders (2005)
A Case Study
Authors: L. Herod
Collection: Research Materials
This case study explored the process of curriculum deliberation (Schwab, 1973) in
an online forum by two pluralistic teams of stakeholders from the field of adult literacy.
Given that the field of adult literacy is, for the most part, geographically dispersed and resource poor, it has been limited in its ability to work together in areas such as curriculum development.
The use of computer-mediated communication (CMC),however, presents a potentially effective and inexpensive means by which stakeholders could utilize the process of curriculum deliberation to develop and refine learning materials that would meet both local and global levels needs.

8. Promoting Reflective Discourse in the Canadian Adult Literacy Community: Asynchronous Discussion Forums (2003)
Authors: L. Herod
Collection: Research Materials
This article shows how adult educators can learn important strategies from those in different areas of professional practice. The author argues in favour of collaboration among adult education professionals, in this case through asynchronous computermediated communication (CMC). Because of the geography of Canada and limited financial resources, the use of CMC is likely to help adult literacy practitioners communicate and share knowledge, to develop both their own skills and the field of adult literacy in general.
