"Ipadio technology links up the telephone networks with the internet, enabling the live broadcast of audio directly to the internet… all from a standard phone. There's never been an easier way to record oral assessments, create revision podcasts, or even collect homework. The process involves a simple registration of your phone and the selection of a password. You are then given a toll free number to call, enter the password, and start recording. Your recording is instantly available as a phlog (phone blog) on your own channel at Ipadio. Don't have the cell phone you registered with Ipadio. There is an easy solution, just use any phone and complete the additional step of entering your registered phone number. After the recording you can visit your own channel and listen to the phlog, email it, embed it in a web page, or even download it as an mp3 to be used in your own multimedia application. You even have the opportunity to edit your phlog and make it public. Ipadio even converts the spoken words to text! Imagine the educational uses of that features. There is even an iPhone and Android app."

Welcome to Tonguetide, the language-learning social network. Like Facebook and Twitter, Tonguetide is a place to connect with people, except that here you'll be meeting people who want to learn languages too. Chat: You can practise your language skills with real native speakers by messenger (like Facebook Chat), video chat (like Skype), or our internal mailing system (email). Use our Match feature to find a native speaker fluent in the language you want to improve (ideally one who wants to learn your mother tongue), read their information to find someone you fancy talking to and invite them to chat by adding them as a friend, sending them a private message, commenting on their profile or "sticking your tongue out" (like "poking" on Facebook). Match: Our system will automatically alert you of new users who fit the profile you specified when signing up and will tell you the Match percentage. Our Members Map even allows you to pinpoint users' locations on a Google Map - so you could meet them face-to-face to chat the old fashioned way!

Our online classes offer speaking practise in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German combined with our self-study courses - perfect for those with a busy schedule.

This site provides access to a corpus of over 900 text samples gathered from test subjects at Loyola College, Baltimore, Maryland, in 2006 and 2007. Twenty-one subjects provide a completely correlated corpus in which each subject provided their opinion in each of six predetermined topics in each of six genres: blog, chat, discussion, email, essay, and interview.

"In 2010, a team of approximately fifteen volunteers from seven different CSU campuses and one from the UC system to evaluate the accessibility of Google Apps. The team also recruited student volunteers and screen reader users to assist with the automated, manual, and screen reader testing. We discovered a number of accessibility issues during our testing. These issues are outlined in the report as well as "workarounds" that can be used to improve the user experience for persons with disabilities. When campuses choose to use Google Apps, they are required to provide an equally effective service for people with disabilities and it is critical for campuses to ensure that the "workarounds" meet the educational needs of the student and/or faculty. The March 15, 2011 USA TODAY online news article "Complaint: Google programs hard for blind students" illustrates possible legal problems that may result from adopting the Google Apps for Education suite.
