Hello everyone,
I know that this is a broad topic for the list but I would be interested in
your responses to the following.
I am investigating web-based technologies to assist in language teaching. I
would be interested in additions to the following list.
Please respond either to me or the list. I will summarise results and post
to my web site.
I'd be interested in getting in touch with anyone on this list developing
resources for use within Blackboard 5 level III, especially people who are
developing building blocks (extensions to blackboard) or considering doing
so - please email me directly.
Rodney

Sue Polyson Evans has also developed a plugin that allows Wimba discussion
boards to be integrated into Blackboard 5 level III as an option under the
Communications tab.
Authoring tools for web-based language resource development:
- Livestage Professional http://www.totallyhip.com
Tool for programming interactive quicktime movies using sprite tracks. I
believe interactive quicktime movies have great potential for use in
language teaching. Is anyone on this list using Livestage for this purpose?
Searching the archives for Livestage produced no results...
- Flash
- Director/Shockwave movies
Regards,
Rodney
