What is the role of the University of Prince Edward Island in supporting adult literacy? A team of investigators from the UPEI Webster Centre for Teaching and Learning and the UPEI Centre for Education Research explored that specific question looking at:

Developing a clearer understanding of adult learning needs;
Identifying existing successful adult learning opportunities at UPEI;
Identifying any barriers and opportunities that exist in improving adult learning at UPEI;
Identifying successful and innovative programs offered in other universities;
Suggesting ways to create a “climate of opportunities and possibilities” to support adult learners and learning at UPEI
Research Team: Dr. Martha Gabriel (Faculty of Education, UPEI), Dr. Ray Doiron (Faculty of Education, UPEI), Dr. Ron MacDonald (Faculty of Education, UPEI)
