Details of the event are:
Date: Wednesday, 15th October 2008
Venue: University of Portsmouth (Park Building)
Time: 10.15am - 16.15pm
The FAROES project, led by the Learning Societies Lab, at the University of Southampton and in association with the University of Portsmouth, is ready to present and test a beta version of the FAROES LanguageShare. The project team have taken the best-practice principles of Web 2.0 sites - that they are social, interlinked, evolving, flexible, visually exciting and easy to use, and created the prototype FAROES LanguageShare, a lightweight repository for language teachers to store, manage and share their resources.
We are now ready to show the world for the first time at a day-long workshop, to be held at the University of Portsmouth. Places are limited, so if you would like to register to attend, please contact Stavroula Varella at: stavroula.varella@port.ac.uk. There is no fee to attend this event, and lunch plus all refreshments will be provided. Reasonable travel expenses will be reimbursed.
