Welcome to the 2011 FLTA Culture Blog. This year, the Stanford Language Center hosted Fulbright FLTAs from 29 different countries for a 4 day orientation led by Less Commonly Taught Languages Coordinator, Eva Prionas, Ph.D. For the Web 2.0 portion of the orientation, the Digital Language Lab put the 50 FLTAs to work by hosting a world language, crowd sourcing event in WordPress using the Kaltura Video Plugin. While learning the ins and outs of multimedia blogging, FLTAs participated in the user-created, semantic web of tagging and crowd sourcing and created the following resources.
FLTAs collaboratively authored these resources in less than 2 hours using Web 2.0 technologies supported by Academic Computing Services and ITS.
