part of college communication and courses.They may be unaware of available
resources,such as financial aid,tutoring centers or mentoring programs,and may be
unfamiliar with terms such as ‘bursar’and‘prerequisite.’And if you don’t know
where to begin or what to do once you do get there,it’s easy to get overwhelmed
and simply give up.”
The challenges that working adults face when going to college inspired Deepa to
develop a web page and website as part of World Education’s National College
Transition Network(NCTN),an online forum for technical assistance,news,and helpful
resources for educators,policy makers,and others interested in adult learning.The
new website is a counterpart(对应物)to the NCTN,set up to guide adults who are
considering college through the process of applying to and succeeding in school.
The website is arranged like a college campus,with‘buildings’representing the
sort of departments and classrooms housed on a college campus.Each building
contains‘classes’that describe the admissions process,where to look for grants
and scholarships,and lists resources,where an outofpractice student can review
reading,writing,and math.There are also lists of advice and resources to help
students with their college life.Another helpful aspect of this
interactive,multimedia site is its audio capacity:all texts can be read to the
visitor.This particular feature is especially helpful for people with visual
problems or learning disabilities.
The cycle of learning runs from cradle to grave,and World Education works to break
down barriers to education for people of all ages,all over the world.
