Keola Donaghy's very excellent paper

[Mia Kalish]

Dear Keola, 

I want to thank you very much for posting the link to this paper. I am
writing one for my paper & workshop at SSILA this week-end, and having your
excellent description of your experiences with technology for the
implementation of your online classes was extremely useful in supporting my
point about people are using technology to revitalize their languages. 

I think this is a very excellent paper (and I think everyone should read
it). 

Best, 
Mia

Aloha Jan, here's an online version on a paper I delivered at the
DigitalStream conference at CSU-Monterey Bay a few years ago. It describes
the development of our online Hawaiian classes. While there have been some
changes, they have mostly been administrative. One major difference in the
class delivery is that the online class now takes twice as much time to
cover the same amount of material as our online classes. What is covered
in one semester on campus is now covered in two online. That change has
resulted in a far higher retention rate.
