This to replace our current analogue lab containing VCRs, TV sets and tandberg units. Since we already are using Sony Soloist and Virtuoso in our other computer lab and are very happy with the outcome and the support provided here in NZ, we are intending to purchase a similar set up with Soloist/Virtuoso with video capabilities. I can contact you with the outcome later in the year, beginnning 2008. In the meantime, what problem do you have with video? (conversion, format, storage) How are you intending to use them? Do you wish the tutor to participate in students's study, practice sychronously and control during exams? (just as in a more conventional lab with a teacher console?) Let me know if I can be of help. More details below on our project page. I am also creating practice exercises for DEAF101 (NZSL) incorporating video. It is in progress so you miht find some glitches but have a look if you are interested to see what is do-able: http://www.vuw.ac.nz/llc/edith_test/hotpot/ Kind regards to all **************************** Edith Paillat Language Technology Specialist Language Learning Centre Victoria University of Wellington P.O.Box 600, Wellington New Zealand +64 4 463 5792 http://www.vuw.ac.nz/llc/about/projects.aspx -----Original Message----- From: Language Learning and Technology International Information Forum [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of LLTI-Editor Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2007 2:18 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: #8502 Sign Language LAb setup Hi, do we have any American Sign Language people on this list who can help. The communications department is looking for a 20 place computer based lab set up to teach ASL. They have seen the Sanoko 300 from Tandberg and heard about the Sony ASL set up. Seems the real problem maybe the video part. Any reactions, suggestions - on this list or in private are greatly appreciated. Wolfgang Wolfgang E. Adolph Associate_In Fac.
