Joanne
Hala: The Jointure for Community and Adult Education; New Jersey Association
of Life Long Learning Teacher of the Year 2003:
"I had time this morning to read through the User Manual you
sent. It is so nice to see a document written by someone who understands
the level of detail and clarity needed in this kind of documentation,
and in the Adult Literacy setting."
Denise
Egidio: Former Teacher for Cuban and Haitian Refugee Programs:
[JVS Learning Solutions courseware] reduced learning time, but it
was very comprehensive. It did not "dummy down" the material.
There was high content retention, because the lectures and text stimulated
thought and provided interesting learning activities. The consistent
presentation made learning understandable. It had a powerful impact,
because of the multimedia presentation."
Participants
in Welfare to Work Training Program:
"I learned that when someone has a "bad hair day,"
it is not my fault.I was interviewing for a new job. When the hiring
person asked why I was fired from my last job I told him. And I said
I learned what I did wrong from my course in communication. I got hired
for the job. I don't think I would have been hired if I hadn't said
that. I learned how to be patient and I think I can change my attitude.
I used to have a nasty attitude."
Participants
in the Vocational Rehabilitation Training Program:
"I am visually impaired, and it was easy to use, because the
audio helped me see things. I was able to understand the information.
I learned how to behave on an interview. Not to fidget, to make eye
contact, and to just smile. That a smile alone can turn a person's outlook
around. I never knew how to read a person through body language. Now
I can."
