Listening/speaking-faci1itative e-tools

The listening skill can be developed through ICT tools such as:

• 
  Video and audio files;
  
• 
  Podcasts (syndicated audio files) and vodcasts (syndicated video files);
  
• 
  Audio Video sharing libraries like YouTube.
  
• 
  E-assessment tools.

  Tony Erbe et al., (2009) list three basic performance types of assessment, namely, performances, portfolios, and projects. The main difference between these types of assessment and standardized traditional tests lies in the fact that with the alternative assessment tools, the leaner “produces evidence of accomplishment of curricula objectives”. This evidence is put in the form of a performance, project, or portfolio and can be “archived and used at a later date with other pieces of learning evidence as a compilation of proof to demonstrate achievement.” Erben et a1., (2009: 153)
  

Virtual learning environments

Virtual Learning Environments (VLE) are Web-based platforms that allow teachers and learners to manage and organize their work electronically. Some of the benefits of these online spaces are as follows:

• 
  Both parents and learners can access these spaces to assess progress.
  
• 
  All participants may have their say on the discussion forums or conferencing sections
  
• 
  VLEs reduce the social distance between all participants.

The Parts ofa Module
https://serc.carIeton.edu/sp/howto/module.html
The goal of a module is to provide the full range of information that a faculty member needs to successfully implement a teaching method. We use a structured format for modules to make it easy for faculty to browse across multiple methods. Each module has these parts:

• 
  An overview page: The overview pages serves as a table of contents to the module. Users browse this page to decide if they want to look further. More on creating an overview pane
  
• 
  A What page: This page describes the teaching method and its distinguishing features. More on creating a What page
