I agree with the comments that have been made about the computer literacy
levels we were trying to accomplish with the ABE program. I also coordinate
the community education/continuing education component on our campus, and we
did not notice any conflict between the two efforts. In fact, the ABE
computer literacy piece sometimes served as a "feeder" into the community ed
piece. I was a member of the committee that helped develop CASI and thought
it was very reflective of the kinds of skill development we were looking
for. The instrument may need to be reviewed and revised since it's been a
couple of years since we've used it.

We experience the same issue Robin. They really need the type of computer
literacy class that we can offer. Then they would be able to transfer up.

I'd like to address the second question about computer literacy. The CASI
assessment was set up as a way to transition students into those continuing
ed or flex lab computer classes. Our experience here is that the college or
continuing ed classes go faster than our students can manage. If they work
their way through the competencies listed in CASI, they would easily
transition into those next level classes. In fact, we would be able to
provide another demographic of students that could become college students.

Dear everyone,
WEN sure knows how to end long good-byes!
Casper had a few more issues they wanted to bring up and we know that
everyone could benefit from being included in this discussion. So here were
our other questions.
1. How will DWS and WCCC deal with the ETSS purchased equipment (computers
primarily)?
2. If our programs offer computer literacy classes for FREE (which we have
in the past) with the general funds, we will potentially take paying clients
away from the continuing education program. Does the WCCC have any
comments/feelings on that?
3. The third question listed on the agenda from yesterday's meeting refers
to RFPs. I would like a clarification of the conversatin that ensued. For
the next two years, our community college ABE programs will be receiving the
general funds. After two years, will the RFP process be opened up to other
entities or remain available to just the community college ABE programs?
That's all I have for now, but we would love to hear others on their
unanswered questions or concerns.
Thanks! L
