7:00 – 8:00 pm EDT

How can I create online learning speaking activities that students can use independently? Can I use contemporary tools that use AI to provide my students with automatic and detailed feedback on their speaking? Can I integrate independent speaking activities into more complete learning events?

This session will introduce and demonstrate independent digital speaking activities for online and blended language courses. The technologies are a set of Poodll plug-ins which are integrated into the Moodle learning management system. These tools will allow instructors to witness possibilities of providing learners with independent speaking practice.

Participants will:

  • witness tools that facilitate independent speaking practice with feedback,
  • discover how to create these activities with support documents, and
  • consider additional plug-in features that can enhance learning such as listening, shadow reading and integrated whiteboards.
