Research on Education Abroad Database (READ)
The Data Committee has created the Research on Education Abroad Database (READ), a new, online database of research projects in education abroad.
READ is open to both members of the Forum and non-members. It is a service to the field of education abroad. To login, the username is FORUM followed immediately by any number between 1 and 90. The password is GUEST followed immediately by the same number.
Examples are:
username = FORUM1
password = GUEST1username = FORUM90
password = GUEST90
If you do not gain access with the first number you try, it is most likely that another user has selected the same number. Simply try another number between 1 and 90.
Contributions
Contributions are welcome from both Forum members and non- members.
