Project Description |
Internet technology now allows communication to move beyond text. What may serve Internet based teaching better is to support communication through non-textual formats. Bearing this in mind, this project developed a tool supporting Internet-based audio communication. The GONG system (http://www.cs.ust.hk/gong/) being accessible by students and instructors, supported both real-time communication and immediate access to the full history of recorded communications, extendable with further recordings at any point in time. GONG was especially useful for language learning since it provided students the chance to practice language in an easy environment e.g. at home at their own pace. But it also had potential use for an online course where learners were working from different locations. |
