With extra synchronous tools currently in development and expected to be released soon, it looks like the future is bright for WebSwami! WebSwami was recently reviewed in Humanising Language Teaching Magazine, an online publication from Pilgrims English Language Courses. The article was written after the author, İlhan İncay, an English teacher from North Cyprus with a strong interest in CALL, had completed extensive testing of the system. The author was impressed with many of WebSwami$E2s features including the user-friendly design and navigation and incorporation of one-click webcam recording, saying that, $E3WebSwami leapfrogs all the competitors with WebCam recording, which allows a much more fun and personal approach$E4.
