November 17th-23rd: Phonotonovellas in Health and Literacy Education

 

On the Health Literacy Discussion List, we will have Susan Auger and
John Comings as guests to talk about the concept behind photonovellas
and why they are so well-suited to health education for adult learners,
and multicultural patients. We will also hear from adult educators and
health outreach workers to see how this tool can be used effectively in
both health and literacy settings. 

 

Please see the full announcement at:

this discussion, please forward this to them and invite them to join!
