On March 24 at the 2021 COABE National Conference, Dr. John Sabatini, Dr. Art Graesser, and Halle Smith overviewed the federally-funded digital resources being researched and developed by the Institute of Intelligent Systems at the University of Memphis. In a presentation titled, "Digital Resources for Adult Literacy Learners and Programs: Reading, Comprehension, and Assessment Tools," they introduced the web-based AutoTutor for Adult Reading Comprehension. They also introduced an adult learner assessment system that can be used for placement, diagnosis, progress monitoring, and outcome assessment. Finally, they demonstrated how to access and participate with AdultEd’s website portal, a hub for these resources and further information.
