This involved getting permission from the publisher and a lot of work by our tech person. -----Original Message----- From: LLTI-Editor To: [log in to unmask] Sent: 11/7/00 7:50 AM Subject: #5809 future for audio programs --- Forwarded Message from Jan Enright <[log in to unmask]> --- >Date: Mon, 06 Nov 2000 11:15:26 -0700 >From: Jan Enright <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: future for audio programs >To: "LLTI group (E-mail)" <[log in to unmask]> I am interested in hearing how other institutions are handling the audio requirements for their language classes. For years we have duplicated audio tapes for students to use while they were enrolled in a language class. They were allowed to check out these tapes for the duration of the class, and then returned the set to the lab. All listening stations were removed from the campus, students worked in their own rooms. Now students tell me they do not have tape players, only CD players. Are you duplicating CDs for students to check out? Are you preparing the audio tracks to stream over a server? We are brainstorming, trying to decide which way to go. Is there a way we could share the process if institutions are using the same textbooks? Could publishers put the audio up on the web for folks to utilize, either for a small fee or by subscription? (or for free considering what the students pay for the text and workbook) As this is of interest to lots of folks, could we have this discussion open? If that is a problem, email me directly.
