Summer Literacy Training Institutes Literacy and Technology: June 27–30, 1999, Montreal, Quebec. “Over three and a half days, participants will listen and respond to Canadian, American and British example of technology use in ABE and literacy. We will look at state-of-the-art systems and locally-cobbled models of technology use, and reflect on the possibilities or problems associated with them. The Institute is highly collaborative. Those who register become presenters if they wish. … The Institute’s program is built around participants’ interests / problems. Part of each day is set aside to discuss and reflect on these interests or problems and to receive feedback from colleagues. … Research can be done after 3 pm … in the resource centre which houses one of the most extensive collections of documents and materials in the country (including) … a preview service for software.” A participants’ listserv is being set up to identify issues and initiate discussions that can continue face-to-face at the institute.
