So I set myself to work to create some exercises of my own using their Javascript scripts. And then I figured that I could create templates that would make creating such exercises much easier, using an advanced text editor that I've been using for years, Notetab. So I did that. Then I thought that for me to create all sorts of web-based exercises would be very time consuming, but if I could create a few and share them with others then I could get others to share theirs with me. So I thought of starting a web-based language exercise repository. I don't know how this idea will be accepted, but I think it has great potential to be advantageous to everybody. If you are interested, please visit my incipient (read 'under construction') web page on this topic and let me know what you think: http://www.salem.mass.edu/~jaske/webexercises.htm Best regards, Jon ___________________________________________ Jon Aske Assistant Professor, Department of Foreign Languages Salem State College, Salem, Massachusetts SB 209A, Phone: (978) 542-4358, Fax: (978) 542-7215 mailto:[log in to unmask] http://www.salem.mass.edu/~jaske/ ___________________________________________ When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, a hundred. --Thomas Jefferson, Writings
