2. "First Chance for a real education" - an impact study of adult literacy (2003)
Authors: Dr. John Benseman, Robert Tobias
Collection: Research Materials
This study has sought to map the impacts that two adult literacy programmes in New Zealand have had on their participants. In recognition of the fact that change achieved by education does not always happen immediately, the study has focussed on the experiences of students who have been out of the programme for some time. Its value lies in its demonstration of the diversity of impacts over the longer term.

3. Learning Tools that Work (2005)
A survey of adaptive technology in learning programs
Authors: Jennifer Hunt
Collection: Learning Materials
This manual was originally developed to accompany four online training modules for literacy practitioners in Ontario as
part of a project funded by Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, National Literacy Secretariat in 2005.
Learning Tools that Work provides an overview of a selection of adaptive technology and assistive devices that have
been field tested at Action Read over the last four years. The information in this manual has proved useful to educators
in a variety of contexts including literacy, adult upgrading, special needs, classroom instructors and learning disabilities
specialists who are trying to find resources for specific learning needs for both children and adults. In recognition of the
limited budget most programs have, this survey includes information about the types of technology available, its
benefits, cost, best uses, limitations, where to purchase and low cost/low tech alternatives.

10. Pathways to College (2008)
Report of the Adult Student Pathways to College Post-secondary Programs Project
Authors: College Sector Committee for Adult Upgrading (CSC)
Collection: Research Materials
About 25 per cent of students in post-secondary Ontario college programs have delayed their entrance to college and have never participated in any form of post-secondary education. These delayed entrants take multiple pathways to college that include participating in courses or programs to upgrade their academic skills. This report examines the pathways to college taken by students who do not have an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent and have delayed entry to college education. Information on student pathways and mobility was collected from applicant and registrant data sources, focus groups with students and group discussions with staff.
The Adult Student Pathways to College Postsecondary Programs Project is one of the five projects on Improving College Systems Pathways undertaken by the Coordinating Committee of Vice-Presidents Academic on behalf of Ontario colleges. The key objectives of this project were to gain a better understanding of the multiple pathways adult upgrading students take to enter post-secondary college programs and suggest strategies to improve data collection and tracking of mobility of college academic upgrading students between colleges.
