What are the anticipated costs — from a site perspective and an infrastructure perspective — for the pilot?
• The biggest investment for field test sites will be in-kind personnel for administrative functions. Organizational or local policies (eg: tutor requirements and matching)are transferable to Learner Web protocols. Initially this investment will involve more time for training and implementation, however once up and running, administrative functions are minimal and can probably be folded into regular duties of existing personnel. Sites may choose to use the Learner Web as a catalyst for community partnerships and for volunteerism. Sites will need to do local promotion to learners and other potential end users to try the Learner Web.
