In the summer of 1999, language teaching professionals from across the country came to Michigan State University to participate in summer institutes.

The Advanced Techniques Institute was attended by language professionals who were already familiar with using the Internet to find existing resources, and create basic resources. The focus was on extending these skills to multimedia resources including original sound and graphics, and high-end use such as browser extensions and web server software.
