MN Dept of Ed Grant helps create health literacy materials
With a grant from the Minnesota Department of Education supervised by the
Minnesota Literacy Council I have created online and hard copy introductions
and exercises to teach basic health literacy in English and 3 immigrant
languages. Technology which including streaming audio in Arabic, Hmong and
Somali make this health information accessible to very low level learners and
the additional printed copies and on-line and printed exercises all reinforce
the basic survival information being taught.
This project includes a total of 16 multimedia presentations, 8 online quizzes
and 24 pdf documents.
There are 4 kinds of multimedia presentations:
Prescription labels
OTC Labels
Special Warning Labels
Side Effects
Each presentation is available in 4 languages: English, Arabic, Hmong and
Somali.
There are 8 online html quizzes that review this information.
There are pdf versions of the four Presentations in the same four languages,
and there are 8 pdf versions of the quizzes.
All of this information as well as an answer key are available online at
http://www.mcedservices.com/online.html
