Seeking recommendations of titles in Russian language teaching software

[Tim Sergay]

Dear SEELANGers,

I have been asked to advise the designers of a new language lab at SUNY Albany on which, if any, Russian-language teaching software programs exist. This is an area that I simply do not know. Apparently Rosetta Stone has a Russian version, but reviews of it are negative. Do any of you use or know of any useful titles in the area of Russian language teaching software? I was not given much notice: purchasing decisions for the first round of software acquisitions are to be made tomorrow morning. Thank you for any clues. Even if no decent programs have surfaced in the field, please let me know: even that would help. I'm starting from absolute scratch.

With best regards to all after a long absence,
