    Abstract:

    Data from the Program for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) shows that adults in the 86 haYe significantly loZer digital skills than adults in other developed nations and implies that library patrons may struggle to use digital library resources. Multnomah County Library and Portland State University are collaborating on a project to assess community members' digital skills using a valid and reliable test created by the Organization for Economic and Cooperative Development (OECD) known as Education and Skills Online (ESO). This session will explore assessment results. Presenters will discuss the ways the team has adapted the ESO assessment tool to suit the needs of the library and the community and what the team has learned so far about how the PSTRE framework relates to library tasks that a typical adult learner may perform to access education and employment opportunities.

    Abstract:

    In 2014 the Joyce Foundation began a three year study on digital learning to identify which practices and product features might be associated with better outcomes for students and programs. In this webinar, Michael Ormsby, CEO and Dan Griffith, National Sales Manager with Essential Education will examine which features of digital technology as well as instructional practices will lead to significantly better educational outcomes in literacy and numeracy among ABE learners.
