News and EventsTrue/ False game authoring tool!Due to collaboration with BF systems, a small Hungarian software research company, Calldysc project can try a new form of web 2.0 activity. We have created a game authoring tool for teachers and learners to make their own True False games. This means that users are no longer bound to the limited amount of learning contents our teachers can provide, but can make as many games as they wish using user generated content (pictures and text). The newly created games can be played on the web or downloaded to the mobile phones. Teachers can create games for their szudents just as well as students for each other. We believe this is a truly collaborative learning activity with respect to teaching methodology as well as technical solution.Please experiment with it and give us your opinion!

Results are summarized in the Pilot Report - Download (.doc)New external links to teaching games and quizzes There are new links to additional language teaching activities under Additional Language Learning Materials on the Internet menu.
