website with research and resources for teaching students with special needs of all varieties.  Great source from the U.K.

This is a pretty extensive set of lessons that could be used to supplement online learning.

Social networking for language learning. Students could talk to a native speaker.

This is a cool site with German videos that go along with an ecourse.  eLanguage also has stuff for Chinese, French, Spanish (along with other languages that UCLS does not teach)

This website has video clips of Spanish speakers from around the world. Many of the clips are unscripted and are a great resource for learning natural speech patterns as well as different regional accents in Spanish. Clips include interviews, commercials, clips from movies and informal interviews about cultural norms and daily life in different Spanish-speaking countries. Clips have optional subtitles and transcriptions, and each one is accompanied by a listening comprehension exercise. This exercise requires the participant to write a missing word into a transcription after viewing and listening to select portions of the video clips.

I learned about this website at the 2011 ICE conference. Using Bookr you can create and share online books with text and searchable images from the Flickr website.
