LINGUIST List 23.470 Tue Jan 31 2012 Qs: Worldwide Survey on Open Language Learning Editor for this issue: Zac Smith <zaclinguistlist.org> We'd like to remind readers that the responses to queries are usually best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we would appreciate your cooperating with it whenever it seems appropriate. In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have taken the trouble to respond to the query. To post to LINGUIST, use our convenient web form at http://linguistlist.org/LL/posttolinguist.cfm. Directory         1.     Jozef Colpaert , Worldwide Survey on Open Language Learning Message 1: Worldwide Survey on Open Language Learning Date: 27-Jan-2012 From: Jozef Colpaert <jozef.colpaertua.ac.be> Subject: Worldwide Survey on Open Language Learning E-mail this message to a friend We would like to invite language teachers worldwide to fill in this Two- Minute Survey on Open Language Learning: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DPJ689W. This survey is part of a research project by Jozef Colpaert, University of Antwerp, and Glenn Stockwell, Waseda University, Tokyo, aiming at identifying factors which might impact on the use of Open Educational Resources in the Language Learning and Teaching Community worldwide. Open Educational Resources (OER) can be defined as “digital materials that can be re-used for teaching, learning, research and more, made available for free through open licenses, which allow uses of the materials that would not be easily permitted under copyright alone” (www.wikipedia.org). The results of this survey will be sent to all participants who provide their email address. They will also be presented at the EuroCall SIG meeting on Open Educational Resources in Bologna (29-30 March 2012), the XVth International CALL Research Conference in Taiwan (25-27 May 2012), the CALICO 2012 conference at Notre Dame University, and will be published in Computer Assisted Language Learning. The data will also be made available as Open Research Data for researchers worldwide. We apologize for the fact that this survey is only available in English. Please forward this invitation to as many language teachers as possible.
