Southeastern Louisiana University may want ot investigate the Sanako's classroom
management system called Genesis. The website is www.linguatronics.com. I work
for Thomas Nelson Community College in Virginia. It wroks fairly well, and the
support is responsive. I wished the manual written for the program was designed
as training the instructors on using the system in the way they are use to using
previous language labs with tape decks. The manual tells you hownto use each
button, but not to incorporate everything to together. There is also an
competitor version from Sony called Soloist. I believe Xavier University was
using it before the hurricane hit New Orleans. Hope this helps.

Dear LLTIers --
Professor Lucia Harrison posted a message to the ADFL listserve
(Assocation of Departments of Foreign Languages) inquiring about a digital
lab system to replace the one at Southeastern Lousiana University that was
destroyed by Katrina. I responded with information about IALLT and its
resources, mentioning Jack Burston's volume on Digital Language Lab
solutions, but I added that if she was under time pressures that didn't
allow her to wait for the acquisition of that volume I'd be happy to post
her inquiry to this list -- which she then asked me to do (see
below). Please, if you can help her, write to her directly, not to me or
to LLTI, of which she is not [yet] a reader. It's nice to think that we
too can provide some very specific help in our field, in addition to making
financial contributions to disaster relief.
Best,
Nina
