Guest Posted January 25, 2004 Share Posted January 25, 2004 Is there a possibility to publish a list of links to useful sites like these somewhere on this forum? The ideas of others have been duly pillaged and are presented here on my College extranet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Davies Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Is there a possibility to publish a list of links to useful sites like these somewhere on this forum? I have a substantial list of annotated links (300+) for Modern Foreign Languages at: http://www.camsoftpartners.co.uk/websites.htm There are 1000+ links scattered around the ICT4LT website (Information and Communications Technology for Language Teachers): http://www.ict4lt.org The ICT4LT site includes a module (No. 3.3) on Creating a WWW Site and there is a Glossary of Terminology relating to ICT in general and to Computer Assisted Language Learning (CALL), as well as a Resources Centre. The ICT4LT site includes several references to Action Mazes and to the Quandary and Hot Potatoes programs - both of which are useful tools in CALL: see especially Module 2.5 on Authoring Programs. Martin Holmes and Stewart Arneil have demonstrated these tools at EUROCALL conferences (http://www.eurocall-languages.org) and I have been privileged to visit their university (University of Victoria, Canada) several times - I have relations living nearby on one of the smaller islands. Small world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rik Palmans Posted February 29, 2004 Share Posted February 29, 2004 Yet another tool I discovered recently: starQuiz. It has the same features as Hot Potatoes plus a little bit more. You can export a quiz you make as an html-page but you can also save it in the dedicated starQuiz format. To make such a quiz you need the full program (costs about $30,-) but students just need the starQuiz reader and that's for free.

Rob Jones Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I am a Flash fanatic. Problem with Flash is the time it takes to create good educational content. Take a look at my Harmony lessons for a sample. I created these lessons with a nice program called Swish which takes the blood, sweat and tears out of using Macromedia Flash. You can get it from The Swishzone website Alternatively, there is a really nice flash generator in the shape of CoffeeCup Firestarter from The Coffee cup website This is free, but has a small advert at the bottom of the presentation. An advert free version is $49 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek McMillan Posted March 4, 2004 Share Posted March 4, 2004 Yes I can vouch for Hot Potatoes. Anything which can get me using Windows would have to be pretty good And of course once created they do not require Windows to be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hughes Posted April 30, 2004 Share Posted April 30, 2004 I'd add OPEUS to this list. I'd grown disillusioned with the range of commercially available and tecnnically specified tools produced and worked with a project team to build something that every teacher and student could use from their existing skill base. Rather than bringing elements of e-learning to schools as revolutionary, we worked on making it evolutionary, so in one step a teacher could move to using e-learning to support their current efforts with a view to developing increasing confidence and competency. At present it is used in schools to host links to useful websites, for online development of libraries of learning materials, collaborations between departments and schools and for e-portfolios for students and teachers. Unlike other e-portfolio solutions I have seen, this includes a facility to assess and remediate work rather than simply store it. Happy to supply further information should anyone be interested and provide links to sites where it is in operation. In the meantime, you'll have to make do with my own: www.myopeus.com/learningpost Best wishes, David Hughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Davies Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 How about Moodle? It's a free open source Virtual Learning Environment: http://moodle.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
