doing research on distance learning. I know you said you did not have a
bibliography ready yet, but would it be possible to get some of the Authors,
Journals, Books or online resources you have been reading. The list does
not have to be comprehensive, but a starting point would be nice.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

literacy students using a class that was 1/2 computer based and 1/2 person to

and the other 2 stopped attending, but the two that did remain made decent
gains according to the Nelson-Denny reading test.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
