Greig, David 1958- (Author). Frontier College. (Added Author).

Summary: This paper presents alternative ways of documenting non-academic outcomes in adult community-based literacy programs. After a brief review of Independent Studies at Frontier College and the hybrid literacy approach to adult education, qualitative methods of evaluating learning are presented. Each method includes a brief overview, supporting research, and examples of the method in use. The six methods include self-management/self-direction, goal setting, anecdotal reports, end of term evaluations, multimedia approaches, and project work.
