Find open access research on teaching modern foreign languages with Yazik Open

2012/03/28 2 comments

An inititative of an expert from the UK LLASYazik Open has the potential to become a welcome addition to our SLA research search options, especially if you do not want to run into a pay wall after finding an interesting abstract.

The currently sole contributor seems to be admin – same problem I had when I started a language learning resource links database in 1998, when will this change?

The keyword list looks somewhat rudimentary – when I worked with LLAS on a language learning resource metadata schema, complexity led to a grinding halt.

So the need to bring some of the advances in technologically fostered collaboration and information exchange to domain-specific fields like SLA certainly remains to be felt here.

Moodle Kaltura teacher and student video uploads combined

  1. You can combine
    1. a Model/Question video, uploaded by the teacher as a video resource
    2. with an Imitation/Response video captured by the student.
    3. kaltura-teacher-upload-student-upload-combined
  2. Cons:
    1. When viewing the teacher upload video models/questions, the student has to alternate between pause/play (which are not even on the same button).
    2. Student does not have to also handle pausing/restarting the video recording, but that may be another con: The student cannot pause her video, so the grader will have to skip over pauses in his recording.
  3. Pros: Looks like a video recording can peacefully coexist with a  simultaneous video playback (XP, IE8):  kaltura-teacher-upload-student-upload-combinedc
