Building an Online Library for Interpretation Training: Explorations into an Effective Blended-Learning Mode
Chan, Clara Ho-yan
Computer Assisted Language Learning, v27 n5 p454-479 2014
This paper reports on a blended-learning project that aims to develop a web-based library of interpreting practice resources built on the course management system Blackboard for Hong Kong interpretation students to practise outside the classroom. It also evaluates the library's effectiveness for learning, based on a case study that uses it to assist in-class instruction of a first-year undergraduate interpretation course. Future improvements and modification of the library design and contents, and the implications of this case study for course design in blended learning and computer assisted interpreter training are also discussed.
