Learning Online with i.e.

At instituto-exclusivo (i.e.) you can learn pretty much any language you want: Spanish, English, Dutch, Italian, French, Russian and other languages. i.e. takes advantage of different free software to facilitate the learning of a language through the internet. By the way, those tools are all free to the student.

So, let's get going (no computer background required)

SKYPE
This is a software application that allows users to make voice calls over the Internet. Calls from computer to computer through Skype are completely free. Skype is very popular for its additional features like instant messaging, file transfer, and video conferencing.

You can download Skype in its official website http://www.skype.com, . Once you have it on your computer, you have the ability to call anyone you want. Try to call us! Our Skype account is: learnalanguageonline, just to say hello or even better, to request a free trial lesson :)

MOODLE
Moodle is a free and open-source e-learning software platform, it is a Virtual Learning Environment. Moodle has thousands of registered and verified sites, and millions of users in around the globe.

At i.e., we basically use Moodle to evaluate the language level of our students (for instance, test your Spanish abilities here ) and to store some study material for Spanish, English and Dutch.

VYEW
Vyew is a platform that can perform team meetings or presentations. Meetings take place in real time over the internet. The application features a shared workspace called the VyewBook and works with webcams, textchat, VolP, and teleconferencing. The content may be uploaded into the workspace for participants to work on collaboratively. With the uploaded content you can add highlighted areas, lines and other marks. One of the good things is that meetings can be recorded for later review. VyewBook remains accessible to participants when the conference is off. This is great because it allows constant reviews and collaboration until the teacher decides to deny access to the uploaded content.

i.e. works with Vyew, Moodle and Skype to offer a fun yet effective way to improve your language skills in Spanish (or in La Paz, Bolivia), English, Dutch, French, Italian,... you tell us.
