Jonathan,

     I'd like to point that LangLab PASSPORT is designed for teaching of all
language skills, and that it is possible to have students write even long
compositions with it. They could certainly use it remotely, as could faculty.
The instructor can bring up a file of students' written work in a word processor
with checking of spelling and grammar, add comments and corrections, and send
the annotated work back to each student. There are a couple of ways of
preserving all states of revision. If you're going to be at ACTFL, stop by booth
757 and I'll show you exactly how things would work. The writing assignments
could, of course, be predicated on file- or Web-based instructional resources
that students view, listen to, or read first, and an instructor might want to
have the students read and record their compositions.
     This use is a very small part of what you can do with a very flexible
product.

    Regards,

    Richard Laden

  Subject: On-line writing revision




  There is a faculty member at my university who is very interested in setting
up an on-line writing revision environment... specifically one that also keeps
track of student errors for her research in Second Language Acquisition.  She
found this product on the web:


  http://www.jucs.org/jucs_7_3/an_online_writing_platform/Wible_D.html


  Unfortunately, I cannot seem to find anyone willing to respond to requests
about using/purchasing the program.  Has anyone had any experience with this
program ... or others that will allow similar error tracking?


  Thanks,


  JP
