CREATIVE PRODUCTIVITY
Completed:
interactive javascript web page for advising English majors (http://www.wsu.edu/~gordonl/English/major_requirements_for_English.htm);
interactive javascript web page for advising Linguistics majors (http://www.wsu.edu/~gordonl/linguistics_major.htm)
Current Projects:
Developing interactive and
computer-aided instructional materials in collaboration with Guy Carden (University
of British Columbia):
Interactive materials for a
university-level traditional grammar course, with potential extensions
to K-12 grammar teaching and university syntax classes. (Primarily LG's project; to download demonstration
software, see http://www.wsu.edu/~gordonl/grammar.html)
Computer-aided and interactive
materials for university-level speech science, phonetics, and acoustic
phonetics, with potential extensions to language teaching and speech pathology.
(Primarily GC's project.)
Interactive textbook for English grammar
for teachers (current version available at http://www.wsu.edu/~gordonl/S06/255).
On-going advising and teaching
Web materials:
Revising and upgrading the
ESL On-Line Help Desk (http://www.wsu.edu/~gordonl/ESL/)
and
Creating web sites for each
of my classes including interactive lecture materials, revising cgi chat
script to serve as an on-line office hour site and an on-line synchronous
class room meeting, an asynchronous discussion board (among other things).
For a sample, see http://www.wsu.edu/~gordonl/S05/554/ the site for last term's English
554 class.
