Hi, Duolingo is a good example of a intelligent language tutoring system and it is worth to check it out.

Thank you Yasin. I tried it in Spanish and liked it a lot. I will try it with my studs and see if it works on them.

I also liked and tried this to learn French a bit. I might have annoyed some people home by trying to pronounce some words hundreds times :)

Here is a classroom-focused adaptive learning platform.

This web page is provided by University of Wisconsin-Madison. In the page, there is an emphasis on the technological applications of situated learning theory since the page is allocated for 'transforming teaching and learning through technology'. I've found the page interesting to share because there are very good examples of situated learning through some tools like interactive case scenarios, augmented reality and situated documentary. The page is useful both for discovering those tools and finding some particular examples of situated learning.

The author shares his personal comments and gives clues on how to be perceived as an expert in your field. These steps start with awreness about yourself and terminates with displaying, selling yourself to others in the field=)

We now know that practice is a key determiner on the way for being an "expert". In this video, Ellen learns how to dance with constant practice. Please check also how experts behave in the video because we know that being expert does not mean being able to teach. Again, enjoy it! :) Warning: There is a lot of exclaiming in the video and you are recommended to turn the volume down while watching it. I write this because I did not do so. :)

Practice Makes Permanent, Not Perfect =)
