Learning Works website
Following the weekly broadcast in Adelaide many of the Learning Works interviews are then added to the
Learning Works website.
The website is the key to making this media initiative accessible
Australia-wide. While listening to radio continues to be a very
important part of our daily routines, this radio project both
highlights the importance of lifelong learning and points listeners
to the Learning Works website, as a growing learning resource of mp3
audiofiles and fact sheets.
Educators in schools and in adult education, as well as individual
listeners with an interest in utilizing mp3 audio and related
online files, are invited to visit the Learning Works website
Producer / Presenter
Learning Works is produced and presented each week by Tony Ryan.

Let’s Talk Secret Codes
Beginning Monday 15 September 2008
South Australia continues its innovative work in adult literacy with the launch during Adult Learners Week of the CD Let’s Talk Secret Codes: Building Lifeskills Through Literacy. The 76 minute CD, consisting of seven short radio programs, complement the statewide focus on the importance of multi-literacies, by providing topical information for radio listeners through up to 20 community radio stations around SA, as well as providing discussion starters for training and/or community organisations on the role of literacies in developing skills for life.
Topics include prose and document literacies, health literacy, financial literacy, visual literacy, literacy and the world of work, and a broader perspective on literacy in Australia today and the challenges faced as we engage with recent OECD survey data from Australia’s Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey, issued through the Australian Bureau of Statistics in late 2007.
Dr Sue Shore, from the Centre for the Study of Literacy, Policy and Language Culture, School of Education, University of South Australia, discusses the Adult Literacy and Lifeskills Survey (ABC 2007).
The Let’s Talk Secret Codes project is produced in the context of Adult Learners’ Week, and is presented by Tony Ryan, Project Manager with PBA FM – 89.7 FM in Adelaide, with support through the ACE and Community Partnerships Unit of DFEEST. Let’s Talk Secret Codes will be available online as mp3 audiofiles, from Monday 15 September – www.learningworksradio.com
