By utilising on-line communication technology, the ANAMOL project aimed to address the problems of numeracy teachers who often work in isolated situations. The technology was to have two purposes: - the establishment of a discussion group for a number of practicing numeracy teachers around Australia - the production of a website of resources for adult numeracy teaching and assessment. Eight numeracy teachers from four states were selected and over a six-month period, communicated both on a weekly basis using 'chat' technology, and irregularly, via a web-based discussion forum. Through these discussions, teaching materials were written, trialled, refined and published. This report documents the action research methodology used, the project outcomes (delights and dilemmas) and implications and recommendations for further on-line professional development.
