There must also be an on-going evaluation process. One goal we set ourselves was to create an extensive visual and audio database for the common linguistic patterns. I developed a series of video programs with a professional team that are available in both video tape and laser disc formats. One can program a laser disc player to instantaneously access video clips and stills in class. E-mail turns out to be a powerful tool for this purpose.
Students also construct their own homepages on the Web.
We continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our use of technology. For example, the video programs were pressed on laser disc when it became apparent that instantaneous access would greatly enhance their usefulness.
