Bob Hoffman, General Editor
The Encyclopedia of Educational Technology (EET) is a collection of short multimedia articles on a variety of topics related to the fields of instructional design and education and training. The primary audiences for the EET are students and novice to intermediate practitioners in these fields, who need a brief overview as a starting point to further research on specific topics. Authors are graduate students, professors, and others who contribute voluntarily. Articles are short and use multimedia to enrich learning rather than merely decorate the pages.

The purpose of this page is to showcase some of the creative ideas others have used to incorporate interactive Web exercises into their language pedagogy. The emphasis here is on interactivity, that is, using the Web for more than just posting a syllabus or making assignments. Each of the examples below requires some action on the part of the student. Descriptions follow with links to examples so you can see these exercises in action. Most, but not all, activities are for French. However, my purpose here is not to teach French via the Web, but to illustrate creative pedagogical uses of the Web that can be adapted to any language.

Frequently Asked Questions
Randall Davis ESL Listening Lab
8. How did you create the sound and video files?
Magic . . . I wish. Seriously, I do my work on bot a PC and a Mac, but sound files can be created using almost any computer as long as you have the software to work with. I have written a series of basic tutorials called " Breaking the Sound Border on the Web" focusing on the development of this site and discussing how educators can add web-based listening activities to their own home pages. I have created two different kinds of sound files for this site: one for the short exercises in .wav format and another for the longer conversations in RealAudio. I've written several short articles on how I created the lab, with more detailed information of creating sound files for the Web.
One of the best tutorials for adding RealAudio files to your homepages is So you want RealAudio, huh?. To create RealVideo files, you will need a video camera, a method of digitalizing the video (unless you are using a digital video camera), for example, with a computer video card, and a tool like the RealVideo encoder to encode and compress your file. Several sites detailing how to add video to your site are Builder.Com, Adding RealVideo Files to Your Web Page, and Video over the InterNet. Please let me know if you come across any other informative tutorials.

Uschi Felix, Monash University, Melbourne
INTRODUCTION
The use of Web for language teaching is relatively recent, with the first materials appearing in the early 90s. The impact, however, has been considerable, mainly because the technology has advantages over the previous generation of CALL by being cheaper and easier to develop and often cheaper and easier to run, and by offering real possibilities for authentic interaction.

The sites can be saved locally as a fully-browsable website which can be viewed with any browser (such as Internet Explorer, Netscape, Opera, etc), or they can be saved into the Internet Explorer cache and viewed using IE's offline mode as if the you'd surfed the sites 'by hand'.

I’m sure you will appreciate the irony of writing a book about online teaching and learning- but that’s what I’ve done! This Web Site offers extracts and tasters from the book, a version of the 5-step diagram explored and explained in the book, examples of the screen dumps of online training and induction, links to resources and people who feature in the book’s pages. Please explore. If you like the look of the book, you can order it from here. Most of all, however, I hope you’ll get in touch with me, the author, and give me your views, ideas, experiences and feedback about e-moderating.

Computer Assisted Language Learning This course is designed as a workshop for graduate students who wish to incorporate the use of technology to the teaching of a foreign language. In this course, we will mostly work with the implementation of pedagogical goals in the teaching of the four language skills (reading, writing, speaking, and listening comprehension) while discussing the emerging practical and theoretical approaches in this field. We will evaluate some of the software developed for this purpose, but we will mainly focus on the use of the World Wide Web and the Internet at large to enhance the learning process of students of a foreign language.

I Review
In the last lecture, we approached the topic of computer-assisted language learning (CALL) by first looking at 'book-assisted language learning'. We considered aspects of book technology, as it has developed over the last 500 or so years, that we take for granted, e.g. the content and structure of the printed page (can contain both text and graphics; may contain glosses and notes in at various positions on the page), and ways that learners can interact with books (e.g. they can be owned; they are highly portable; the student can write in the margins, highlight areas of the text, turn down pages, and insert Post-it notes, tape flags, paper-clips within the page).
We also identified (a) a number of variables such as the learner's profiency level and goals, whether the language is being learned in a foreign-language or second-language setting (b) aspects of the language that are often taught with the assistance of books (c) areas that books are and are not useful for (e.g. reading; - phonology).
We then turned to computer-assisted language learning. We observed that to make good use of the computer as a tool in language learning, it is important to know about (a) language acquisition theory (b) learning theory (c) applicati

FTP is an acronym for File Transfer Protocol, which is an established standard by which files can be transferred across a network. Although the Web has now made FTP a more specialist area of the Internet than it once was, there is still much that can be gained by making use of, and understanding FTP. Everything you see on the web is a file, and as you probably know, your web browser will respond to different file types in different ways. If a web browser encounters a file that it cannot display, it will prompt you to save or download that file to a specific location on your machine. Sometimes all you will want to do is download files such as applications or other non-viewable file types. In such situations it is often more effective to go directly to the place they are stored rather than go through a web page. An FTP client (application) allows you to access the designated directory on a remote machine and download files. In some cases, depending on the permissions given, you will also be able to upload files to the remote machine thus allowing file sharing.
Using FTP is basically the same as using the web insofar as you enter the address of the ftp site into the ftp application (WSFTP for example). There are, however, some significant differences between FTP and Web site browsing & downloading:-
FTP
|
Web
|
Direct access to
a remote machines directory |
Access to the web
pages without being able to see the directory structure on the remote server. |
Required to login
to each remote machine, usually you will need to provide a password and
login name, although this can can usually be done anonymously. |
Move from web site
to website without having to login and logoff all the time. |
Multiple file download
as if you were copying files from within Explorer. |
Usually single file
download, or each file has to be clicked on and a download initiated before
the next one can occur. |
Often faster than
the web - not so many users. |
Can be very busy
and congested. |
Not as user friendly
as the web. |
Very user friendly! |
Easy to get space
on an FTP server, thus allowing one remote access to their own files. No
web design required, simply upload the files and then download them as you
require. |
Must have at least
one web page to act as a "front end" for interaction with the
remote machine. |
Files can be shared
easily with users being able to upload as well as download files. |
Traffic can often
be one way. |
The Leeds University network currently
has two FTP applications; WSFTP and one simply called FTP. The
latter is a little more like the Windows Explorer environment, whilst
WSFTP is very much of the more traditional design. Both
application split the work space into two parts; your machine and the directory
you are currently in, and the remote machine's current directory. Before you
can get to this stage, however, you will need to logon to the remote machine.
When starting up WSFTP, you will be presented with a login window that will
ask you to enter the address of the FTP server, the login name and the password
(if one is required). If you are not given a login name and password, you should
use the anonymous login procedure that is available to you.
 |
You will need
to insert the name or address of the remote server in the relevant field.
Usually FTP addresses are separated by a full stop, e.g. accountname.domain.otheraddressinformation.etc.
Next you will need to provide either a User ID and Password or
select the Anonymous option. Once all the details have been entered, you
are then in a position to connect to the server and start moving file
around. Depending upon the access rights (permissions) you have been granted,
you can create and remove files and directories, rename files and directories
and move around within the file system of the the account you are logged
in to. To download files, you simply select the files you want and then
click on the arrow to send them to the relevant machine (either upload
or download)

HERE YOU WILL FIND over 851 examples of how the web is being used as a medium for learning.
We do try to keep our links fresh and this site was last checked for dead links on January 7, 2002.
Just what is this site ABOUT?
JUST HOW CAN THE WEB be used for something more than surfing, chatting, making money, or idly wasting time? Can it provide an environment for learning? We found that people learn well from examples, so we created for our faculty this collection of the ways the web was being used in different disciplines.

Courses in Computers & Language Learning Greetings! This page contains information and links to items of interest to former students of the various courses I taught on the subject of Computer-Assisted Language Learning (CALL) for the Tesl Centre of Concordia University.
All things must come to an end. I taught a "Computers in Language Learning" course for the Tesl Centre from 1987 until 2000, a span of 14 years! Over this time, we moved from the Apple II computer to the Internet. Much changed, yet many things remained the same.
It is no longer possible for me to teach this course
