Subject: [Technology 1758] research paper resources

Hello,

I am a graduate student majoring in Adult teaching and learning with an emphasis in educational technology. One of my course requirements is to complete a 8-10 pg research paper on technology integration. I am interested in researching use of technology integration in Adult literacy programs and the benefits/challenges.  I would appreciate information on adult literacy and technology integration resources (books, scholarly articles, literature reviews....).

Thank you for your time.

Best,

Michelle Stewart
