- Literacy for Every Adult Project (LEAP). Report of Learning Center Component. Pastori, Sharon And Others Adult Basic Education Annotated Bibliographies Computer Assisted Instruction Computer Software Interviews Lesson Plans Library Services Literacy Education Microcomputers Program Evaluation Public Libraries Tutorial Programs Word Processing This review of the activities of LEAP (Literacy for Every Adult Project), a free, basic skills tutorial program for adults, is divided into two parts. Part 1 provides the most recent assessment of the LEAP microcomputer learning center, which was funded in 1985 through a Library Services and Construction Act grant, and Part 2 details the early activities of the center shortly after its opening in the spring of 1984. Topics discussed in Part 1 include the spring, 1986, evaluation of the use of word processing and lesson plans for software programs, the value of incorporating computer aided instruction (CAI) in library-based literacy programs, requirements for a minimal program, and the expectations and realities of the LEAP learning center. Part 2 includes a discussion of the background and an evaluation of the project, a description of the LEAP learning center and its curriculum, a project summary and recommendations, and a 27-item bibliography. A sample lesson plan for use with software, interviews with LEAP learners, and a lengthy annotated bibliography of software programs used at the LEAP learning center are appended. (KM)
