Students can provide content in their native languages for everyone else. If enough people from a variety of backgrounds are involved, a whole host of languages and dialects can be stored for language lab type exercises. That's what the LD is all about in a nutshell. I'm in the NYC area looking for work in E-Learning and/or software development. If anyone has any suggestions for opportunities in this field, please email me off list. Thanks very much for your time.
