I am investigating web-based technologies to assist in language teaching. I would be interested in additions to the following list. Please respond either to me or the list. I will summarise results and post to my web site. I'd be interested in getting in touch with anyone on this list developing resources for use within Blackboard 5 level III, especially people who are developing building blocks (extensions to blackboard) or considering doing so - please email me directly. Rodney Web server products: Wimba (http://www.wimba.com) - voice discussion boards - voice mail - voice presentations (powerpoint + audio) http://www.wimba.com/products/voiceEnabling.html) - voice enabled applets - language karaoke (listen-repeat) - voice comparison tool. (transformation exercise format) http://www.wimba.com/products/languageTools.html - Blackboard 5 plugin for Wimba discussion board Sue Polyson Evans has also developed a plugin that allows Wimba discussion boards to be integrated into Blackboard 5 level III as an option under the Communications tab. Authoring tools for web-based language resource development: - Livestage Professional http://www.totallyhip.com Tool for programming interactive quicktime movies using sprite tracks. I believe interactive quicktime movies have great potential for use in language teaching. Is anyone on this list using Livestage for this purpose? Searching the archives for Livestage produced no results... - Flash - Director/Shockwave movies Regards, Rodney -- Rodney Tamblyn http://rodney.weblogs.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
