Adult literacy and television: An annotated bibliography

The Centre has researched and produced a comprehensive annotated bibliography on adult literacy and television. Arranged chronologically from the early 1960's to the present, it reflects almost all the major work undertaken in the developed world (with some references to developing countries) to use television for literacy campaigns and for instruction.
