Editor's Notes
- Wikipedia is the best known example of a wiki, a collaboratively written encyclopaedia: http://www.wikipedia.org
- Wiki pages are controlled — created, linked, edited, deleted, moved, renamed, and so on — by a programming or scripting language, and stored either as plain ASCII text files or in an external relational database. e-mail notification for every change faceless contact -no limits of place or time users freely create and edit web page content using any web browser with no knowledge of HTML coding collaborative tool limited only to a selected group of users
- The term podcast takes its name from a combination of iPod (Apple's portable digital media player) and broadcasting , but podcasts and vodcasts do not necessarily require the use of an iPod or similar device. Most audio and video recordings on the Web can be played using a standard media player : see Section 2.2.1, Module 2.2, headed Media players .
- E xcellent free software package that offers all the essential features of recording and editing
- Long's interaction hypothesis (1996) : “ comprehensible input ” & “ negotiated meanin g training in grammar and vocabulary alone does not result in linguistic competence with no interaction (Rüschoff & Ritter 2001
- b) Second micro-activity example: ‘Film scripts’ Each group had to choose a scene between several scenes of five famous Italian films proposed and published by the teacher at the wikis’ class. The purpose of the activity was to write the subtitles of the scene chosen. After the creation of these imaginary dialogues using the microblogging tool the teacher published the dialogues at the class microblogging space and then made the corrections needed giving explanations to the students in private or public messages. The activity was concluded with the performance of the scenes by the students and then followed, first, the screening of the original film scenes and, second, the votes for the best script creation by the students. The goal of the activity was to practice basically the oral skill through the creation of these script-dialogues in a spontaneous way as if they were ‘acting’ in real life.
