[Technology 930] New Adult Literacy Journal: Cross PostingDaphne Greenberg alcdgg at langate.gsu.eduTue Apr 17 09:25:16 EDT 2007
List colleagues, If you are a subscriber to multiple NIFL lists, please excuse the cross posting of this message. On behalf of Don Harting, the editor of the Adult Basic Education and Literacy Journal, I would like to announce the following: New Literacy Journal Launched The first issue of the Adult Basic Education and Literacy Journal, copublished by the Commission on Adult Basic Education (COABE) and ProLiteracy America, was launched in March. The journal’s predecessor, Adult Basic Education, was started by COABE in 1977. The new journal will continue to carry research articles that are peer reviewed using a double blind protocol that conceals reviewers’ identities from authors, and vice versa. The journal will also include the following shorter features written especially for practitioners: • Practitioner Perspective offers first-person narratives by people who’ve solved problems that instructors or program directors often encounter. The emphasis is on learnings that can be used by other practitioners. • Web Scan, edited by David Rosen, offers a roundup of the most useful instructional and management resources found on the Internet. • Research Digest, edited by Cristine Smith, offers a quick recap of published and ongoing research projects around the country, with contact information so interested readers can find out more. • Resource Reviews, edited by Daphne Greenberg, help practitioners and researchers stay abreast of the latest offerings from educational publishers. • Occasional essays, called Viewpoint, that analyze trends and forces at work in the field. The March issue carries an essay on health literacy by Rima Rudd. The July issue will carry an essay on the national research agenda by John Comings. The journal is published three times per year.
