Lingu@Tor TM is a multimedial author platform for browser environment, specially designed for e-learning packages. It is the result of various European research projects and of the intensive collaboration between CTL-Uhasselt (Centre for Applied Linguistics at the hasselt University, www.uhasselt.be/ctl) and Brainlaine (www.brainlane.com, Genk), spin-off of EDM (Expertise Centre for Digital Media), the research centre of the Hasselt University in Diepenbeek.
Lingu@Tor TM is the ideal way for an enterprising teacher/ lecturer to put the exercises hitherto made on paper in an attractive and varied electronic environment with a view to presenting the problems discussed in a constantly changing setting. As such, he can project the world inhabited by his students into the exercises: a digital photo camera and Lingu@Tor suffice!
Being in constant progress, this wonderful platform already includes 20-odd exercise types, which can assume various other forms with the help of some creativity (click here for a demo):
