R&D is currently working with the Center for Women and Work and The Center for Literacy Studioes, developing content, infrastucture, and an overall vision for a website that offers Literacy and Work Skills training to adult learners online. The project is called BuildingSkills4Work. In summer 2009, we launched a beta of the site for select summer programs. A full launch of the site is slated for Fall 2009. We have employed a unique creative approach to generating the lessons content that brings academic and educational material 'to life' in a way that is both appropriate and effective for adult learners. The team of CWW, CLS and R&D are continuing to pursue futher funding to add more content, and to continue our development of this initiative toward realizing our broad vision.
R&D also maintains a select group of ongoing smaller scaled projects providing web, print, audio, and strategic consulting services. Clients range the spectrum from non-profits like SFNOIR, P.S.1, and The Nicholson Foundation, to corporate like Wells Fargo, and consumer brands with retail products including UrbanCowgirl and Mixman.
