We are also introduced to ANVILL,Language lab and the initiator of the project,Jeff Magonto.He enlightened us about the different,overwhelming features of the lab.Unfortunately I wasn't that luck to join the Friday webinar to see and listen to the participants(tutors and classmates),but I hope there will be a recording of the event.
One of the most painful moments for me when I realized the contradiction between my project plan time line( assumingly at the beginning of the semester,the 10th of March),and the due date for the final project( the 9th of March).So,the first thing I did early this morning was to meet the dean of the college(ICT) and explained to him that due to time constraints I may need to start few days earlier(4th of March ;Today)than the set schedule for my plan.He,again was cooperative to let me use the internet lab for the initial steps of the project,if the students won't mind coming despite thier vaccation.Being successful to contact some of them on their mobile phones,they show their pleasure and readiness to start a little bit earlier.Showing up on the lab few hours later,we were successful to create the class blog and the wiki as well.In spite of the sadness I felt at first the dean's understanding and the students' eagerness and interest to help initiate this project gave me all the joy.So thank you dean,students and lab technician(M.Siddiq) for making it possible.
