Hello colleagues,
I am looking for recommendations on software for a couple of language
applications and I was wondering if anyone out there had opinions. I am a
very computer literature teacher who has lots of technology savvy.
Although I would learn Java or other operating systems I prefer not to if
there is already inexpensive (possibly free) relatively easy to use stuff
out there.
1. I am looking for a program that will allow me to create self correcting
fill in the blank/ cloze/ matching etc activities to build directly into
my website. For those who are familiar with Quia.com, I have been using
their services but would like something I could host myself and which was
a little more flexible.
2. I am planning on writing an entire e-text book for second year Spanish.
I need a multimedia environment that can support video, audio, web
linkage, self correcting activities etc......etc. Basically I am looking
for an extremely malleable environment that I can get at the language from
all sides. I have been pre-viewing Authorware 6 from Macromedia and see
it as a decent option.
Any and all feedback would be welcome.
