Also, we are refurbishing our website to integrate with the university's library, however we would like to make it a bit more dynamic, user-friendly and more to the point useful to the students and staff than what is presently. (make content more visible, inviting feedback, making it a online meeting point for our language students as it is physically etc...) 2/ Is any of you using any of these tools to communicate with students and teaching staff in your institution? 3/ Has any of you been successful in establishing a forum where students could post messages for a langage buddy or an event, etc... If yes who moderated and did it work well? Any idea and example is most welcome!! (off-list if you prefer) Best regards to all! **************************** Edith Paillat Language Technology Specialist Victoria University of Wellington New Zealand +64 4 463 5792 http://www.victoria.ac.nz/llc/about/projects.aspx *********************************************** LLTI is a service of IALLT, the International Association for Language Learning (http://iallt.org/), and The Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning (http://www.languageconsortium.org/).
