Additional information

This public website is for anyone who teaches languages and who wants somewhere to host and manage their materials, it's also for language students that want to record and share good stuff that they've found. It is free for everybody to use. Please create an account for yourself and try it out - we hope you will be pleased by how easily you can make your teaching materials available online.

The Software

The LanguageBox is an installation of EdShare, an attempt to reinvent learning object repositories for the Web 2.0 world. Our philosophy is to make software that is useful to users, simple to use, and which helps to build a community of teachers and learners. The LanguageBox differs from more traditional repositories in that it is a living space rather than a dusty archive!

Comments / evaluation

Very interesting repository of language learning material for "community languages" in the UK. These include major EU languages, so the list of languages is very complete.

It is also a community in a sense, with groups that work together (e.g. universities, schools, etc.). However, it looks now deserted and activities ended de facto in 2013.

EdShare is a software developed by the University of Southampton that is similar to Common Spaces (repository of learning materials + collaborative features).
