- (Being planned and scheduled, therefore this post is a work in progress, please stay tuned: ).
- As a continuation (and practical application ) of our previous Intermediate Sanako Teaching Techniques Workshop (and a repetition of our Learning material creation Clinic from the summer), we will create learning materials.
- Bring some ideas and materials. The Sanako and entire LRC infrastructure aims to lower the technical authoring requirements.
- We can record remotely, all authoring teachers at the same time, your source (model/question material) which you will be able to distribute as easily (“ loop induction”) from the Sanako teacher station. Bring some questions your students should be able to respond to in L2, and be prepared to read some text that you want them to repeat, for pronunciation practive
- We can author hand-outs for so-called “homework” (actually reading and writing, with supervision and collection by the teacher as easy as the handout): It just takes opening one of our customized LRC MS-Word templates. I will hand out (more loop induction) “homework” files to aid your work. Bring some texts and essay writing tasks
- PowerPoint exam files with visual cues: bring some ideas for vocabulary quizzes.

- Requirements:

I do not know whether there is technology supported on campus thatthis makes this work in your home office also, - you need to have the free Sanako student recorder Lite installed, here is how: Just “Run” the above link.
- Recommended: in the student recorder, from menu: TBA, set your “default save directory” to the current folder with the student recordings – otherwise you have to change the save as dialogue back to this destination for each file you save.
- you UPDATE: DO NOT ANYMORE need to disable the voice graph (
notcompatible with voice-insert recording; you can, however show the voice graph again when done recording and reviewing the file) - you need to save the student recording, updated with your comments, in the same folder with the same file name as the source (when “saving as” and choosing the name, preferably do not type it, but rather select or copy/paste it. The original file will still be preserved since your version will be saved in a a different format and therefore have a different file extension)
- you need access to the network share to open/save student recordings (this works in your office;
- TBA:you can rewind to listen, and re-record to overwrite comments that you want to revise
- More training:
