My company is releasing a new product (Edufolio Learning Lab) aimed specifically at language labs and we are looking for instructors interested in trying the software in their classrooms. There is no cost associated with the beta and you can use the software for a year (so you can roll your course from one semester to the next). Edufolio is completely web-based software so can be accessed easily from any computer connected to the internet. We would like to get as many opinions and suggestions about how to improve the product before the commercial version is released later this year. My business partner and I were language instructors at UNC-Chapel Hill for years and designed the software to meet the needs of the foreign-language classroom. Some of the exciting features of Edufolio Learning Lab: -audio/video recording directly into the website -audio recording answers for student assessments -discussion forums w/audio recordings -flashcard creation and review -real-time tools -Live classroom -built-in instant messenger -multimedia learning modules NB: this is just a partial list of the features in Edufolio Learning Lab. I have also attached a PDF file that outlines what you can do with Edufolio or you can look online at http://edufolio.com <http://edufolio.com/> or download the PDF from http://www.edufolio.com/_media/EdufolioLearningLab_pre-releaseNP.pdf <http://www.edufolio.com/_media/EdufolioLearningLab_pre-releaseNP.pdf> . Please let me know if you have any questions or are interested in trying the beta. I would also be thrilled if anyone who is interested would send me a wish list of features you think would be great for language lab/language learning software.
