Video Didact® System
Videodidact® is a computer classroom control system which allows the instructor to send his/her screen to students, receive a student's screen image, send the screen of any student to another student and send any screen to a projector. In addition, the instructor can lock or blank a student's screen and take control of the student's keyboard. Other features include call buttons, with which students can let the teacher know they need assistance, a highlighter on the instructor's screen, and the distribution of audio and video from different sources.

The video conferencing system recently acquired by the Division and managed by the Language Laboratories and Archives (LLA) will let faculty and classes participate in events with other universities and institutions. For more information, review the Policies.

Grant Applications for Local Consortium Projects

Deadline for Spring quarter: TBA
The University is a member of the Consortium for Language Teaching and Learning, along with the Ivy League schools and MIT. Each year the Consortium provides the University with funds with which to foster language learning and research projects at the local level. In addition, the Consortium makes funds available at the national level for large-scale projects or for those projects that develop materials that can be used at other Consortial schools. For more information contact Michael Berger at 2-9772.

LLA matching funds

Deadline for Spring quarter: TBA
Each year the LLA provides matching funds to teachers who would like to purchase pedagogical materials. The applicant must obtain consent from the chair of their department and secure the commitment of their department to cover 1/3 of the cost of the materials. The LLA will then fund the remaining 2/3 of the cost. These funds are rather limited so applicants are encouraged to submit fairly modest requests. For more information contact Michael Berger at 2-9772.
