One might want to pursue this line of inquiry by discussing: 1) What are the profiles of faculty using audio or video on a regular basis? 2) Do most faculty have time, given the available analogue or digital equipment, to modify in any way the audio/video material available--to tailor it their students' needs? 3) Or do many faculty who use audio/video prefer to simply cue up ready-made materials, in whatever medium? 4) Do faculty have technical or other *support* available for the creation and delivery of tailored or teacher-annotated materials? 5) Do faculty have institutional incentives (compensation, credit toward teaching, service, etc.) to engage in such activities? Any "No" that might answer items 2-5 could break the link to using audio and video materials. Many of us I'm sure would be interested in comments on both Dick's and these more general questions, both from those who are creating materials or using them in the classroom or asynchronously and those who are not.

This allows viewing of all <http://www.scola.org/eoneCommerce/Portal?Dsp=40&PCR=1:40&ACTN=80000&channel=1&s cheduledisplay=program&R=6030>four SCOLA channels on the web and access to a 7-day rolling archive of half-hour mp4 digitized files from all four channels of broadcasts. We are working on supporting these resources for teacher use, both edited sections on the web for homework and in-class presentation. Actually, in-class is the more difficult, as most teachers here do not have laptops. How to present a digital file in class? LaCie Silverscreen? DVD-R? Other ideas? For the web for students' homework, we expect teachers will download the files, review them, select portions with iMovie and upload them to our server. We then have a media workbook tool they can use. Are others using this service? How are teachers using the digitized files? We have a workshop in May, where teachers will try all this out and we'll discuss classroom presentation equipment and issues. I'll post results of this if people are interested. -- Dick Feldman, Director Language Resource Center Cornell University http://lrc.cornell.edu 607-255-8685 *********************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning, and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://consortium.dartmouth.edu).
