Title: Free Online Discussion Board
Body: Editor's note: The discussion board at the URL below was recently recommended on the LLTI (Language Learning and Technology International) listserv as a good resource for instructors whose institutions do not have BlackBoard or other online discussion boards. From: http://nicenet.org/philosophy.cfm Nicenet is a volunteer, non-profit organization dedicated to providing free services to the Internet community. Nicenet's primary offering, the Internet Classroom Assistant (ICA) is designed to address the pedagogical needs and limited resources of teachers and their students. Nicenet set out to provide a tool that is very easy to adopt and use. The ICA requires only a web browser and a connection to the Internet, so there is no software to install or servers to manage. The simple format of the system is highly intuitive with a very low learning curve, requiring no formal training. The interface has low graphical content to make it easy to use through a standard modem. Such a model allows teachers to incorporate the ICA based on their personal pedagogical priorities rather than institutional infrastructure. Nicenet strongly believes the classroom should not be a marketplace. The ICA is offered free of charge with no advertising, allowing even classrooms with modest resources access to powerful tools. Nicenet relies on the generosity of our supporters and volunteers to continue to provide the Internet Classroom Assistant. For more information, visit: http://nicenet.org

Title: Web Experiment for Kanji Similarity
Body: From: http://linguistlist.org/issues/16/16-3028.html We are seeking participants for an online graphical similarity experiment for Japanese. We need a wide range of participants, including non-speakers of Japanese, second-language learners, and native speakers. The experiment takes about 20 minutes to complete, and can be found at: http://www.foks.info/experiment The aim of this experiment is to determine how likely learners of Japanese are to mistake one kanji for another at a glance. Since actual error data is difficult to come by, this experiment instead collects graphical similarity judgements from learners/speakers of different backgrounds and proficiencies. More details can be found on the experiment's web page. Please take a few minutes to participate. Regards, Lars Yencken Masters Student University of Melbourne
