synchronous and asynchronous communication on Primary Pad, Google docs, Moodle forum

exploration of different sources to collect information about the tool

Problems encountered :
connectivity issues on Primary Pad
impossibility to get hands-on experience of the chosen tool
What We Tried

This tool would make a valuable addition to any Moodle course, increasing the feeling of immediacy in the communication between the participants

In the field of foreign language teaching/learning, it would help to develop listening and speaking skills by
listening to other people's messages
analysing and responding to them
students listening to and assessing their own performance
participating in group discussions
reflecting on the characteristics of oral discourse and interaction
Our Educational Vision

Other Interesting Tools to Develop Listening and Speaking Skills

Synchronous
Coveritlive : to build and launch a live event from any web page
Icogno : you write in a question and an avatar answers it in text and voice form

Asynchronous
Voicethread : voice and text conversations around a topic
Vocaroo : voice recording tool
Voxopop : voice message board
