I have a few questions for the listserve..... Because of the nature of Hebrew being a non-roman language, we have run into many difficulties. We have two main needs right now. First, I need to find an authoring tool that uses Unicode that will let me create interactive/multimedia lessons in Hebrew and English, and have student responses in both Hebrew and English from the keyboard and audio. The most popular software programs from Adobe and Macromedia do not use Unicode. I have found CAN-8 and Blueglas so far that uses Unicode. If anyone has experience with Blueglas or any other authoring program that uses Unicode , please let me know. Secondly, this is our first year using Blackboard for uploading course syllabi and reading materials. It would be wonderful if we could find a platform that uses Unicode that would enable us to type in Hebrew for discussions and chats and upload documents in Hebrew. Any ideas?
