Abstract

This paper describes the development of a courseware authoring tool, BRIX, which was built specifically for the second language acquisition domain. A needs analysis identified specific requirements of online language learning and the inadequacy of commercial course management systems with respect to these requirements. BRIX has been developed to fulfill language educators' requirements focusing on reading, writing, and listening activities. The design of BRIX is based on pedagogic approaches and theories of teaching and learning second languages and on the results of analytic and empirical evaluation of test versions of the software.
