2. Compiled Responses of LBS teachers in Ottawa to a questionnaire about their numeracy teaching practices and needs (2000)
Authors: Lisa Hagedorn
The project Survey of Resources for Teachers of Adult Numeracy aimed to contribute to the process of improving adult numeracy teaching in Literacy and Basic Skills (LBS) programs, by connecting teachers with resources. The first element of the project, the questionnaire, was designed to identify the resources that were most needed by teachers. Some questions in the questionnaire asked teachers directly what they feel they needed, while other questions sought to find this out indirectly, by asking teachers to describe their adult numeracy teaching and learning situations. The questionnaire had forty-five questions, and was administered to seventeen LBS teachers in Ottawa-Carleton. This document contains the teachers' compiled responses to the questionnaire, and will be used to help publicize existing high-quality adult numeracy resources and to suggest appropriate new adult numeracy resources to be developed.

5. Good Jobs, Bad Jobs, No Jobs: A Not-So-Trivial Pursuit (1993)
Women's Education des femmes, Winter 1993 - Vol. 10, No. 3/4
Series: Canadian Congress for Learning Opportunities for Women (CCLOW)
Authors: Pat Armstrong
This questionnaire was intended to test the reader's knowledge of the connections between training, education and employment for women in the 1990's. At the end of the questionnaires, answers are presented, along with a number of conclusions, such as: lack of education and training could not explain rising unemployment, nor could unemployment (and under-employment) be solved with more education and training; the labour force was becoming feminized—that is, men's jobs were becoming more like women's jobs; i.e., less pay, more part-time work.

6. Guidelines and Support Materials for the Acquisition of Computer-Based Adult Literacy Systems (1994)
Authors: Secrétariat national à l'alphabétisation (SNA), National Literacy Secretariat (NLS)
Deciding whether or not to introduce a computer-based system into an adult literacy program elicits many questions. Does the approach used by the technology support the educational goals and philosophy of the unit? What changes occur in classroom practices? What will be the effects on the learners? Is the expense of setting up a computer-based system worth it? If trouble arises, who is there to help?
These guidelines are intended to assist potential purchasers as they consider the acquisition of a computer-based adult literacy system.
This publication is based on a report by Mary L. Crowley, Technology Analyst.

7. The Impact of ABC CANADA's LEARN Campaign (1996)
Results of a National Research Study
Authors: Ellen Long
In 1994, ABC CANADA initiated the LEARN campaign, a national media campaign aimed at linking potential literacy learners with literacy groups. Throughout the campaign, ABC CANADA gathered information from selected literacy groups about the effect of the LEARN ads. This study is the first systematic national attempt to measure the impact of the LEARN campaign.
This 97-page report is the result of research done with potential literacy learners by numerous literacy groups throughout the country, and coordinated by ABC CANADA. The findings show that the LEARN campaign is having a strong influence in every province of Canada, ranging from 32% of phone calls in Manitoba, to 59% of calls in B.C. The report also provides demographic information about who calls literacy groups in Canada; for example, 88% of potential learners were between 16 and 44 years of age, and 36% of potential learners were unemployed. These various statistics are shown in a series of tables and figures. The publication is intended for literacy practitioners and administrators, and it presents valuable information on referral services in the literacy field.
