Introduction to
Spanish Linguistics

Prof. Kimberly Geeslin

Format: Website

Instructional goals:

  • student feedback - contributions to progressively built files
  • instructor-selected resource

In Introduction to Spanish Linguistics Prof. Geeslin wanted her students to be able to build a body of resources as they progressed through the readings and assignments for the class. Students were able to use a web-based feedback form to contribute bibliographic data and their individual analyses of what they had read. The form was written so that students' entries were automatically combined into a bibliography file. In order to accommodate the specialized characters of the Spanish language, a special input keypad was developed for the webscreen which allows users to click on the special character needed for the text. Prof. Geeslin worked with TLTC consultants and developers to create the website and the specialized feedback forms.
