I wish I’d had more time that week to interact with Jeff Magoto. I read his article on ANVILL, though. I was amazed by all the applications this portable modern web-based software can have. I think it’s fantastic how voiceboards, forums (T-casts), and livechat, can add multimedia (audio and video-based messages) to text discussions. Aside from being a lot more motivating to our students, they allow teachers to cater to their learners’ different learning styles much better. Besides, pronunciation, which is usually neglected or limited to the activities the course textbook includes, can be practiced as well.
I was also impressed by the fact ANVILL makes it possible for teachers to assess students through media-rich and personalized quizzes and surveys.
