------------------
One of our more innovative language faculty members is very interested in
using on-line language placement testing which requires keyboard input and
audio for listening comprehension.  Secure login is required of course.  I
have had no experience with any application which would do this and
neither our rather substantial Information Technology Services (computer
services) nor our Educational Testing Services will even try it.  I just
read Samantha Earp's message about her experience with this at UNC
Charlotte and I am not optimistic.

If any of you has had experience with this type of system, I would very
much like to hear from you.  I hate to discourage anyone wanting to make
the best use of the technology we have available.

Thanks.

Jerry McCune
