Abstract
With the advent of the Internet, we are able to share information, to network with other professionals, and to serve the needs of adult learners in ways that were previously impossible. This proposal describes innovative ways to foster communication, track progress, and promote and a new research methodology for adult education. The Virginia Adult Resource Center has recently begun tracking website usage to assist in redesign. Data collected in this way provides information to help educators modify navigation of websites and revise educational resources. This method provides a constructivist approach to the educational process, not only for practitioners and learners, but also for developers and researchers (McKnight & Demers, 2003). With leadership from the Virginia Department of Education's Office of Adult Education and Literacy, plans are underway to increase the use of technology to improve education for adults in Virginia. Several projects are underway that will be described in this presentation.
