WHYY Digital Datacasting in GED Training

PBS has worked with several organizations to create a program called Literacy Link. It is designed to assist adult learners in passing the GED exam and developing skills for employment. The series consists of over sixty half-hour video programs, workbooks with practice exercises, and an interactive website. WHYY will be working with the Workforce Investment Boards in Philadelphia and surrounding counties to deliver this material by datacasting. All the content of the Literacy Link program will be digitized so students at the training centers will have the ability to view it from a single computer interface.

Watch a short, seven minute video about datacasting and this project in particular. You need Real Player to view it.
