I am a community college French instructor and international 
education coordinator within the Virginia Community College System 
(VCCS), and am currently involved in the preparation of a System-wide 
grant proposal to the U.S. Department of Education's Title VI A 
competition. 

Part of our proposal involves my soliciting training proposals for a 
one-week summer institute in multimedia instruction for eight foreign 
language instructors, and in some case a technical person from their 
colleges, each year for three years.  

However, our RFP is not appropriate for many university instructional 
technology units because of the VCCS's major commitment to live, 
interactive, compressed video instruction.  The crafters of the grant 
proposal feel strongly that the training we seek must blend video 
conferencing techniques, Internet skills, and foreign language 
pedagogy. 

Could you direct us to several appropriate providers? I will be extremely grateful for any 
assistance you can give us.
