Seeds
of Learning
This is
an introductory agriculture course for adult learners that
draws on unit standards for Agriculture at ABET Level
4 and delivers these at an ABET Level
2 communications level.
Vice Dean of Agriculture at Fort Hare, Marco Brutsch commented
as follows about the material:
"Seeds of Learning engages learners in various agricultural
learning activities. Used by learners alone and in group situations,
the course stimulates, informs and questions. It succeeds
in using laregely familiar activities of agriculture to develop
the communication skills of ABET learners.
This gives them the opportunity to use language for learning
as well as appropriate communication for specific purposes.
The technical agricultural information contained in the course,
though basic, is also useful and well presented." |
