Abstract

1. Symposium: Technology is becoming increasingly important in all language learning; in distance education, it plays a vital role. Athabasca University staff employ a variety of e-tools to help deliver effective language programs to students throughout Canada and around the world. The presenters will discuss the e-tools that they are using or have worked with to promote language learning. These e-tools include moodle, discussion boards, peer editing, blogs, wimba, and mobile learning. The presentation includes a demonstration of these selected e-tools.
