Citizen Literacy is a new, FREE app being developed by City College, Glasgow to help adults who are just starting to read and write or having difficulties in these areas.
If you think this might help you, the college would like you to try out the app and let them know what you think.
If you let me know you are looking at this by emailing:
Laura.finlay@inverclyde.gov.uk, I can arrange to get in touch and help you with any problems.
I can also pass on your comments about the app to the college when you are ready. The college will change and improve the app based on learners’ feedback.
CLD would also like to find out how useful the app is. If you and others find it worthwhile, we will let other learners know about it and include it on our Moodle learning platform when this is up and running.
To get started, watch the videos below:
