Free Online Courses for Adult Basic Skills Learners
There are many free courses now for online learners. In this Web Scan column I include some that may be suitable for adult basic skills (including English language learning) programs. Many adult basic skills programs now offer blended (integration of face-toface and online) learning. Some of these courses could be the online component.
1. Peer2Peer University Peer2Peer University helps libraries
to organize blended learning study groups called Learning Circles for community adults. Peer2Peer University offers a free facilitator guide for organizing these.

2. Blended Learning for the Adult Education Classroom I have written a free online guide for adult basic skills educators
that shows how to organize blended learning, provides many examples of what adult basic skills educators are doing with blended learning, and offers a long appendix of mostly free resources. See . educators/blended-learning.php. Perhaps some of these free online courses could help, too.
