The Ohio Five
ViewPoints Project |
 |
The Ohio
Five ViewPoints Series is
a collaborative multimedia project originally conceived by J. Eduardo Jaramillo
Zuluaga of Denison University, and created by language faculty from
the Five Colleges of Ohio. The main purpose of the project is to develop
multimedia materials for language courses for which commercial products
are not available. This includes (but is not limited to) all courses offered
in the less commonly taught languages and intermediate and advanced level
courses taught in French, German, and Spanish.
It consists of a series of CD-ROMs and Web sites. Students will find a collection of video-clips in which native speakers elaborate on a variety of topics. These topics are directly related to the chapters of the textbook or to units included in the syllabi by the instructor. To facilitate its comprehension, the video-clips are accompanied by a descriptive text, vocabulary, listening comprehension questions, or other materials that the instructors find important to the better understanding of the video-clip. The students answer open-ended questions, multiple choice questions, or fill-in-the-blank exercises. ViewPoints projects have been created for the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, Spanish, and Swahili. For more information on these projects (author, date, where to access) go to the Projects page. Many of the video clips of ViewPoints interviews are available through
OhioLINK's Digital Media Center, in the Foreign Language Videos database.
