I have made a significant change to the way that I will be doing my research project; this being to focus on sharing the content lessons, student feedback, and the forum entirely through Google Plus (with a wee bit of Blogger thrown into the mix).
The basic structure of the programme will be the same, with lessons created, shared, forum comments, and feedback to students based on their pronunciation and use of Mandarin language.
The primary reason for the change is that audio recordings can't be made on Evernote desktop (as far as I can see, perhaps someone out there knows how to). When I initially set up the programme I had been using Evernote on an iPad, on which it is very easy to create audio recordings in notes. Audio recordings can also be created on Evernote using Android tablets and iPod Touch.
Fortunately I have been in the process of getting my head around Google Plus. The format is perfect for my project; levels of privacy are easy to set, sharing with groups is simple, and audio can be used by both myself as teacher, and the students as participants in the programme.
I'm excited by the change, and am looking forward to working with my Mandarin class on the project.
