What is CAN 8?
Can 8 is a network-based interactive multimedia learning program. It
replaces audio-labs by allowing students to listen, record, and then hear their
own sentences. It provides instant feedback!
The French
Department at Vanier College has been using CAN-8 extensively for students
in several different levels. The oral and written
exercises correspond exactly to what the students learn in class and are an
important part of the learning process.
Up until now, the CLEO lab (Centre de langue érite
et orale) has been the only place that students can do their exercises but the
three following important factors have contributed to its being made available
for students and teachers to do their work at home:
- CAN-8 exercises are being created for
Modern Languages
- The hybrid-learning pilot project, "Operation-Online," will use it
extensively
- Working at home allows for a greater degree of flexibility for our
students
