mentoring programs，and may beunfamiliar with terms such as bursarandprerequisite.And if you dont knowwhere to begin or what to doonce you do get there，its easy to get overwhelmedand simply give up.”The challenges that working adults face when going to college inspired Deepa todevelop a web page and website as part of World Educations National CollegeTransition Network(NCTN)，an online forum for technical assistance，news,and helpfulresources for educators，policy makers，and others interested in adult learning.Thenew website is a counterpart(对应物)to the NCTN，set up to guide adults who areconsidering college through the process of applying to and succeeding in school.The website is arranged like a college campus，withbuildingsrepresenting thesort of departments and classrooms housed on a college campus.Each buildingcontainsclassesthat describe the admissions process，where to look for grantsand scholarships，and lists resources，where an outofpractice student can reviewreading，writing，and math.There are also lists of advice and resources to helpstudents with their college life.Another helpful aspect of thisinteractive,multimedia site is its audio capacity：all
