We've been "rolling our own" as well and will present a session at IALLT 2003 (Sat afternoon) on our efforts. BTW... after carefully evaluating several "lab control" software packages, we settled on NetSupport School... better audio communications than NetOp School. More in Ann Arbor... >>> [log in to unmask] 6/2/2003 1:40:35 PM >>> --- Forwarded Message from "Scordato, Francesco" <[log in to unmask]> --- >Subject: RE: #7154.5 (REPOST) Monitor functions for French (!) >Date: Fri, 30 May 2003 13:37:46 -0400 >Thread-Topic: #7154.5 (REPOST) Monitor functions for French (!) >Thread-Index: AcMmIw4prBrc+G47QnisDGwtEysCegArb0Fg >From: "Scordato, Francesco" <[log in to unmask]> >To: "Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum" <[log in to unmask]> ------------------ Betty, I may have a solution for you but I still have to test it. I will set up a digital language lab similar to yours using NetOp School software this summer, hopefully to be up and running before Fall semester starts. I will post about this make-yourself approach to a Digital Language Lab as soon as I am through it. Here is their Website: http://crossteccorp.com/netopschool/ If you are interested I can write more extensively about what I have find out so far.

We would use the academic server for the recorded audio exercises, webpages, and links. In the lab, we want to have 25 computer stations with web access, alternate keyboard sets, dictionaries, spell-checkers, etc. online. For class functions, all we really need to be able to do is bring in a class & have them listen and respond to the oral exercises while the faculty member listens in on them. The rest of the typical lab function, ie distributing a lesson to the class, making small groups, etc., is not something we would use. Because of this, we are not thrilled to pay megabucks for the typical language lab company like Sony, Tandberg, etc. Ideally, I would like to hold the software cost to $5,000 or under.
