Three items are needed to set up for telecommunications: the personal computer, the modem, and a communications (software) package. Potential uses of personal computers by adult educators include bibliographic and information searches; bulletin boards to share information and networks; a more sophisticated use of the bulletin board notion; and data transfer and communication. Adult educators can use bulletin board systems to communicate at the local, regional, or national levels. Adult education organizations can apply computer technology as an information delivery tool, a linkage between agencies, and an enhalvlement to referral activities. Computers can also make easier a vary of administrative activities--budget planning, word processing, and data management. Implications related to telecommunication technology for adult educators are a need for information dissemination, a need to develop a linkage to commercial vendors of hardware and software, and a need for a national commitment to provide for computer literacy. (Appendixes include a 6bibliography, a glossary, and sample computer materials.) (YLB)

Some of these aspects focus on actions an adult educator can take to make changes or improvements in the environment, such as addressing a physical space limitation or trying to understand what an individual is experiencing as a learner. Other aspects focus on perceptions, beliefs, and attitudes, such as trying to understand how personal views about race, gender, or technology affect the activities of teaching and interacting with adults.

Relying primarily upon prepared software packages, the first educator relies on his computer as a resource to aid in word processing and in home and professional management. The second educator, on the other , hand; is primarily a04fiobbyist who finds his computer a constant source of intellectual stimulation. Both users of personal computers represent a significant potential market for credit and non-credit adult education offerings. Both educators have found their home P computers a,valuable professional resource in that it eliminates the need for copious notes, outlines, and drafts when preparing professional reports; reduces typing and dictation time; provides constant intellectual stimulation; forces individuals to better organize their thoughts; and facilitates the rapid retrieval of, information. The growing use of home computers has created the need for new software packages that are based on a humanist rather than a behavioralist philosophy as wellfts for additional adult-level courses or workshops on using home computers. The personal computer is also a valuable tool for-use in adult education program administration.

A survey research tool was designed to reveal perceptions of the value placed on various adult education publications. The first part contained a list of 393 English language books related to the adult education field. Respondents were encouraged to include additional publications they had found to be of value; this resulted in 125 new books and monographs being mentioned. Participants checked on a final list those publications they judged to be of high value. The second part of the instrument contained several questions designed to obtain demographic information about the respondents. Responses were returned by 135 out of 400 adult educators. Most respondents mentioned a fairly large number (39.13) of books of value. Eight of the top 20 were focused on adult learning or adults as learners, including the top 5 books. Eight were general, historical, or introductory in nature. The other four covered topics of continuing professional education, program planning, more radical approaches to adult education, and research. Suggestions for further research included an update every decade; a larger, more diverse audience; a study of the value of journal articles and conference papers; and an evaluation of the sources. (Appendixes include the project bibliography of 393 sources, the list of the 125 additional books and

The narrative portion begins by focusing on the assessment of college-level education needs for older and retired persons in central Iowa, one of the initial steps in the planning and programming of Eldercollege. A second section describes the spring 1979 demonstration program which offered the course Foreign Cultures, and two topical forums--Elder-assemblies--in which older and retired persons received college-level instruction and discussed topics of mutual interest and concern. Other brief sections concern external and internal funding of the program, graduate student involvement, and conclusions and recommendations, Appendixes, amounting to over two-thirds of the document, include(1) a Proposal to Develop

However, most periodicals require double spacing of everything. Note, too, that this simulation shows each new paragraph beginning without a tab or 5 space indentation. However, some periodicals will require a tab mark at the beginning of each new paragraph. The best rule of thumb is always to look at articles published in the targeted periodical and model after them.
