In this newsletter, Divace Lite takes center stage as the Teleste Educational product that is being 'discovered' by many language learners, both students and teachers, both young and old, both experienced computer users and the newly initiated. It's always heartening to hear positive feedback, and to receive positive reviews. I: One such review has been received from Rocket Download, a leading provider of download software on the Internet: They have awarded DIVACE LITE its highest rating, 5 smileys, as a language learning tool that captures the power of the PC and web multimedia. In their review, Divace Lite is described as a program that can be used for pronunciation and comprehension exercises as well as tackling interactive uses of speaking. You can read the full program review at http://www.rocketdownload.com/details/educ/divacelite.htm. II: In another review, TUCOWS (The Ultimate Collection Of Winsock Software), placed Divace Lite in its top software category with a rating of 5 cows. "Cows" are based upon specific criteria including ease of installation and use, educational value, homepage links and how fun the software is to use. Divace Lite is a great tool to help you learn a foreign language. This is a great program to learn and very easy to use. It has also been added to their TUKIDS collection, a site for programs that are good for children to use, where it was also given a rating of 5 cows. This puts Divace Lite in with the elite of educational and children related software.

A 30 day evaluation of Divace Lite can be downloaded from the Divace website, and can then be used to work through the English language learning activities on our Virtual Language Learning pages. Listen to audio recordings and practice your understandings with online comprehension and vocabulary tests, and gap-fill exercises. Enjoy learning online with DIVACE! We have just recently added more English learning activities as well as some interesting new links to our Virtual Language Learning pages at http://www.divace.com. NOTE! Audio and video material has been created in the Divace-specific file format .dim, so you will need Divace to play that format. Please download Divace Lite beforehand from http://www.divace.com IV: IT Teachers and Corporate Trainers! With its new features, IMPERATA 2.0 is a necessity for today's computer classrooms. In addition to the outstanding features of the 1.1 version, you can now observe your student screens for activity and performance progress, broadcast your screen to student PCs for demonstrations and presentations, and gain full control of students' PCs in order to provide assistance, correct mistakes, or view many student screen thumbnails at the same time in your mosaic window.
