ABSTRACTA project was conducted to offer customized software

to adult basic education (ABE) programs in Pennsylvania and to trainthe program participants on software customization principles. Theproject produced an updated list of software publishers and productsthat can be customized for adult education students. Workshops werepresented on customization of software through the regional staffdevelopment centers. Software was customized for local programs tomake it appropriate for the needs of the learners. Guidelines weredeveloped for instructors of the programs that use the customizationservice about how to do future customization on their own. As aresult of the project, 169 software programs that can be used todeve.lop customized instruction for ABE students were identified andstored in a database in FileMaker Pro format. The project concludedthat at present most Pennsylvania ABE providers are primarilyinterested in the electronic customization of the administrativeaspects of their programs; the project scope was expanded to includesoftware customization for both instructional and administrativepurposes. The project also concluded that most providers need moretechnical training in this area to meet their needs. (The bulk of thedocument is a printout of the database.

Introduction

The goals of the proposed research were to offer customized software to the

ABLE programs in Pennsylvania and train the ABLE program participants onsoftware customization principles. This project took place during the 1994-95 fiscal

year. ABLE providers nationwide who are interested in software customization for

their programs will benefit from this report. The Project Director was Dr. Eunice N.

Askov, Director of the Institute for the Study of Adult Literacy at Penn State. The

Project Coordinator was Brett Bixler, Senior Instructional Designer at the Institute

for the Study of Adult Literacy at Penn State. This report is available from:

Statement of the Problem

ABLE programs in the Commonwealth work with a diverse student body.

Each program has its own philosophy, organization culture and resources, and

student population. The unique aspect of this project was that it permitted

Pennsylvania ABLE programs to adapt commercial computer software, which is

generic by nature, to the unique needs and inte,ests of each program.

The shift toward functional context instructioninstruction using the context

of relevant work or life tasksis one of the most 'Important directions in adult

literacy. The functional context approach to instruction, using the needs and

interests of the learners to provide the context for instruction in basic skills, has been

1

demonstrated to be a more effective instructional approach than generic instruction(Sticht, 1987; Rockefeller Foundation, 1990). Learning is more relevant andmeaningful; students are able to draw on past knowledge and experiences as theylearn basic skills.

Adult literacy education uses the functional context approach in a widevariety of ways. Some workplace/workforce preparation programs take afunctional approach, instructing workers and future workers in the specific basic

skills required for their jobs using actual job materials for instruction. However,functional context can be used in almost any type of literacy program; for example,a family literacy program that helps adults read children's books so they can read to

their own children is using the functional context approach to improve basic skills.Technology has also been advocated as a promising approach to instruction

(U.S. Congress, 1993; Turner, 1993; Forlizzi, Askov, & Carman, 1993). Instructorsfind that computers, in particular, offer privacy to students to learn at their ownpace and level. Students find the experience of using computers empowering,

enabling them to engage in further learning. While these advantages are discussedin the recent report from the Office of Technology Assessment (U.S. Congress, 1993),

what is not discussed are the difficulties that programs encounter when they try tocustomize software to use the functional context approach to meet the instructional

needs of their unique learners.In response to the research on the functional context approach to instruction,

and the need to customize instruction to learners' needs and interests, a number of

software publishers now offer customizable software. Staff at the Institute for the

Study of Adult Literacy (ISAL) at Penn State compiled a list of customizable

software for workforce literacy in the late 1930s as part of a larger software

development project. The matrix of workforce literacy software titles and

characteristics as well as the list of publishers has been a useful tool for practitioners

(Askov & Clark, 1991). The matrix has been reproduced in Closing the literacy gap in

American business; A guide for trainers and human resource specialists (Gordon, Ponticell,

& Morgan, 1991), as well as cited in Sociological Abstracts and International Education

database. The International Reading Association is also planning to reproduce it in a

special compilation of articles in the Journal of Reading about adult literacy

(personal communication, 1994).However, the current matrix was only for workforce literacy; it was also out

of date since the original research was done and compiled more than five years ago.

More publishing companies are now producing software for adult literacy and moreare offering the option of customization.

Current software evaluations usually do not deal with the issue ofcustomization. For example, the state departments of education of the northwesternU.S. have issued annual reports of software evaluations performed by adulteducation instructors and students (Software Buyer's Guide, 1993). While this

resource is very valuable in providing evaluations of software, it does not provide

guidance on customizing commercial software.Furthermore, the process of actually customizing commercial software is not

as easy as it should be. Ben Burenstein ofDrexel University, serving Philadelphia

adult education programs with computer technical assistance under an Act 143grant, reported that he had shown instructors how to customize commercial

software; yet to his knowledge no one had actually done it on their own (personal

communication, 1994).In a telephone survey of the nine regional staff development centers,

conducted in March 1994, most of the centers believed that the programs in their

regions did not use customized software; several said that they were unsure aboutanswering the question. Interest in customization for instruction, testing, andrecord-keeping purposes was expressed by all ABLE programs funded by thePennsylvania Department of Education. All centers expressed an interest in having

a workshop presentation on software customization and said that an updated

software evaluation would be of great benefit.

Goal and Objectives

The specific objectives of the project were to:

1. update and expand the existing research on customization of computersoftware using the current database at ISAL and other sources;

2. produce an updated list of software publishers and products that canbe customized for adult education students;

3. advertise customization services to local programs through theregional staff development centers;

4. present workshops on customization of software through the regionalstaff development centers a. requested;

4

5. customize software for local ABLE programs to make commercialsoftware appropriate for the needs of their learners;

6. develop guidelines for instructors of the programs who use thecustomization service in how to do future customization on their own;

7. compile the research on the updated list of software publishers, theexisting matrix of customizable software, and guidelines for programsin how to customize software in the final report;

8. disseminate th:., final report through AdvancE and the regional staffdevelopment centers.

Procedures

1. Update and expand the existing research on customization of computer

software using the current database at ISAL and other sources.

The project manager identified 169 pieces of software which can be

customized by a teacher or tutor. The project manager used catalogs, on-line

database searches, and electronic queries and searches to compile this list.

2. Produce an updated list of software publishers and products that can be

customized for adult education students.

Using a database (File Maker Pro), the project manager constructed a database

containing the information gathered for objective one (see Appendix B). A record

from the database is shown below:

3. Advertise customization services to local programs through the regional staff

development centers.

A letter was sent to all Regional Staff Development Centers on August 2,

1994. This letter was to be distributed by each Staff Development Center in a

manner they felt was appropriate. Some Staff Development Centers copied the letter

and distributed it; others included the letter in their newsletters.A description of the project was published in the October issue of What's the

Buzz? The project manager wrote an article on software customization for the

Mosaic, Volume 4, Number 2 (issued in December). Included in the article was a

description of the software customization project.A second letter, which more clearly defined the project, was mailed on

October 18, 1994 to all ABLE providers listed in the Institute for the Study of Adult

Literacy's database.A third letter, which defined the project and included details on

customization of software for administrative purposes, was mailed on February 10,

1995 to all ABLE providers listed in the Insatute for the Study of Adult Literacy's

database.

4. Present workshops on customization of software through the regional staff

development centers as requested.

On September 24, 1994, the Project Coordinator presented two workshops on

software customization at Region 3's First Annual Fall Workshop. On November 24,

1994, the Project Coordinator gave a presentation on the project at Region 5's Fall

Workshop. On December 9, 1994, the Project Coordinator met with the Executive

Director of the Reading-Berks Literacy Council to discuss their software

customization needs. On January 30, 1995, the Project Coordinator gave a

presentation on the project at a Region 7 staff development meeting. On February 6,

1995, the Project Coordinator gave a presentation on the project at the annual

PAACE Conference in Hershey. On March 9, 1995, the Project Coordinator gave a

presentation on the project at the Erie County Literacy Council. On March 30, 1995,

the Project Coordinator gave a presentation on the project at Goodwill Industries in

Pittsburgh. The Project Coordinator sucessfully applied to present a workshop on

6

software customization methods at the 1995 Adult Literacy & Technology

Conference, to be held at Philadelphia in August 1995.Feedback from these presentations (in the form of evaluation forms) indicated

the presentations were clear and of good quality. A sample evaluation form is

included in Appendix A.A lecture presentation method, combined with mini-presentations, sharing,

and questions, was used effectively. In most cases, the workshops dealt with the

attendee's main interests in an understandable way. Most of the workshop

attendees felt the presented topics were useful. By the end of a workshop, most of

the workshop attendees felt they were ready to take the first step towards software

customization.

5. Customize software for local ABLE programs to make commercial software

appropriate for the needs of their learners.

The project manager provided multiple telephone consultations on software

customizadon to interested ABLE providers. In many cases he was able to refer the

caller to an appropriate piece of software for his or her needs. In other cases he

researched possible alternatives and provided the caller with the appropriate

information.The project manager constructed a database for the Franklin County Literacy

Council. This massive task took a great deal of time to complete. Franklin County

Literacy Council now has a database for tacking tutor and student information

which is flexible enough to accommodate change as needed.

Early in the project it became apparent that many ABLE providers were

primarily interested in customizing software for the administrative aspects of their

programs. Customization for their learners was a secondary, albeit important,

concern. Because the philosophies and methodologies for software customization

are sufficiently broad enough to accommodate both these needs, the project was able

to carry forward without a major revision in its objectives. The Project Coordinator

revised the terminology used to describe software customization to include

administrative needs.

7

6. Develop guidelines for instructors of the programs that use the customization

service in how to do future customization on their own.

These guidelines were developed in the process of writing the softwarecustomization article for the Mosaic, Volume 4, Number 2, and while developing the

workshop presentations. These guidelines are included in Appendix C.

7. Compile the research on the updated list of software publishers, the existingmatrix of customizable software, and guidelines for programs in how to customize

software in the final report.

The list of software programs was completed in June 1995. The resulting

database (in File Maker Pro format) is induded in this ieport in print as well as

electronic form. The guidelines for software customization are included in the

Appendix C of this report.

8. Disseminate the final report through AdvancE and the regional staff

Development centers.

This report meets this goal. In addition, the printed form of the software

customization database (see goal 7, above) was mailed to all Pennsylvania Regional

Staff development Centers for dissemination.

Conclusions

This project met all its goals. Objective 5 - "Customize software for local

ABLE programs to make commercial software appropriate for the needs of their

learners," - was not met as robustly as the Project Director and Coordinator had

anticipated. While the Project Coordinator was able to adequately assist many

people via the telephone, few ABLE providers were interested in having software

customized for them by the project. The main reason for this is that Pennsylvania

ABLE providers are not ready to take advantage of software customization

processes for their students. While many people who attended the software

customization workshops were enthusiastic about the possibilities of customization,

few followed up by implementing such a project. Most of the workshop attendees

-3 ;

8

were not computer experts. The concept of software customization a high-level,

multi-step process may have deterred them from doing so.The one software customization effort the Project Coordinator did undertake

(a database for tracking students and tutors in a literacyprogram) consumed a major

amount time. This reflects the project's initial research that showed the process of

customizing commercial software is not as easy as it should be.The database of 169 pieces of instructional software that can be customized by

a teacher or tutor is an invaluable resource for anyone v-* -hing to customize

software. It will quicldy become dated, however.

Recommendations

At this time, many Pennsylvania ABLE providers are primarily interested in

customizing the administrative aspects of their programs. For most programs, this

means they need to track program information electronically. This coincides with

the Pennsylvania Department of Education's effort to provide a common database

for reporting program information to the Pennsylvania Department of Education.

While this provided database will meet some of a program's requirements, it will not

meet any program's requirements entirely. Many people the Project Coordinator

communicated with expressed individual, unique needs. They will need to add to

and augment what the Pennsylvania Department of Education provides them with.

To achieve a fully customized system, providers will need training on the uses of

technology in this area. They also need a support system to help them move

through difficult areas during development of these systems.

It is apparent from discussions with ABLE providers at workshops and via

the telephone that most ABLE providers will notproceed with software

customization for their students until they have their administrative customization

needs met.The database of 169 pieces of instructional software which can be cusiomized

by a teacher or tutor should be updated periodically. Perhaps this database could be

turned over to an organization that specializes in such things, such as the Northwest

Literacy Resource Center (1701 Broadway, Seattle, WA 98122, 206-587-3880).

Appendix C - Software Customization Methods forInstructional Software

Introduction

Most customizable instructional software provide you with a "shell" or pre-

set format for presenting your content. The customization occurs when you take

your content and add it to the shell. To take full advantage of a piece of

customizable software you must be able to use existing storage software, such as

databases, to assist in modifying the software. Manually inputting content into a

rvstnTrizabie software package is tedious, frustrating, and prone to error. If you

have your content previously stored electronically it will be easier to input it into the

software, as well as saving you a great deal of time. Each customizable software

package is unique in its data and input requirements. You mu:;t be flexible enough

to adapt your instructional content to meet each program's demands.

Using Databases to Store Your Content

The best way to store instructional content is electronically so it can be used,

copied, and modified easily. Databases offer one way to store and organize content

so that you can copy it into other programs with a minimum of fuss. As an example,

if you wished to customize several vocabulary software programs, it would be

beneficial to store vocabulary words, definitions, distractors, and sentences in a

database. You could then "dump" this content from the database into the

vocabulary software programs.

Database Structure

The structure of an ordinary database is defined by records, fields, and forms.

A record of information (see Figure 1) contains pieces of information about a

particular subject. For example, if you had a database of vocabulary words, each

record would contain information on one word. If your database contained 20

records, you would have information on 20 words.

9 6

The Database

Figure 1 Records in a database.

Each record in a database contains different pieces of information called fields(see Figure 2). Each field holds a specific piece of information. In this example, each

Fields can contain different types of information. When setting up a database,you establish what type of information each field in a record will hold.

Once you create a database and define the fields for each record, you cancreate different ways to view the information. These forms (or viewing layouts) do

not change the data, just how they are displayed (see Figure 4). Think of this aswalking around a house and looking in different windows. What you see willchange from window to window, but the contents of the house remain the same. In

our example, there could be an entry form (for entering new data), a words only

form (for just viewing the words), and a printing form used to print the records

neatly.

How to Transfer Your Data to *a Customizable Software Program

After creating a database with records, fields, and forms, you transfer datafrom the database to the customizable software program. There are three ways to dothis. The method depends on the computer's capabilities and the requirements ofthe customizable software program.

The first method of transferring data is to export data to a file in a formatusable to the customizable software. Most databases allow you to export data in anumber of ways, including text or ASCII (data can be opened in a word processor),

database formats (data that is transferred from one database format to another),spreadsheet formats (data that can be analyzed in a spreadsheet), and various otherformats that may be particular to either the software or the computer. After youexport data, the customizable software program can read the newly created file andimport content for use. This is an ideal situation, but it does not occur very oftenbecause most customizable software programs do not have import capabilities norcan they directly read a file exported from a database.

The second method of exporting data is to copy and paste between thedatabase and the customizable software program. If your computer allows you toopen both the database and the customizable software program at the same time,you can easily open the database, copy a piece of information out of a field, switch tothe customizable software program, and paste the information into the correct spot.

1 0

9 9

This is more cumbersome then the first method, but it is faster than manuallyinputting your data. It is also safer, as you will avoid typing mistakes.

The third method of transferring data is to input data manually. This is theslowest and most error-prone of the three methods. There is only one advantage ;If

this method. You can print the database with the data in the proper order for

reference as you input the data into the customizable software program.
