 The
International
Association of Language Learning Technology
recently did a research project featuring the
Genesis Language Lab system. IALLT is a
professional organization with members worldwide.
See below for some excerpts from that article:
"Genesis is a
full-featured computer management and communication
system that allows central control over student
computers and distributed audio-video resources
within a Local Area Network. It is specifically
designed for language instruction, though can also
be used for the teaching of other subjects.
Depending on network bandwidth, it can support up to
eight classes of 120 students each on the same
subnet. Provided that they are on the same subnet,
instructors as well as students may be physically
located anywhere.
The Genesis interface is based on the
metaphor of a virtual computer lab. Its operation
is commendably user-friendly and transparently
simple.
Genesis
is an excellent computer management system that also
provides the essential features of a traditional
language lab. Its multi-functionality and reasonable
pricing makes it well worth considering..." |
