But first, a question. While we use Apple Remote Desktop here, we do not use it or recommend it for audio communications. (It wasn't designed for that.) I'm curious why you want the computers to facilitate this rather demanding technical task over simply having students speak face-to-face? Are you pairing students up over a distance, such as between different schools? If not, what do the computers add to this activity that is not present in simply pairing students up face-to-face? -John ___________________________________________ John de Szendeffy Multimedia Language Lab Center for English Language and Orientation Programs Boston University ph 617.353.7957 fx 617.353.6195 lab http://www.bu.edu/celop/mll/ personal http://people.bu.edu/johndesz/ > --- Forwarded Message from Rowena Mak <[log in to unmask]> --- > Hi, > Our school operates on a Mac platform and we are shopping for a new > language lab.
