Skype and Language Learning

[Keola Donaghy]

Aloha Phil,

The Niuolahiki Hawaiian language classes conducted online by the ‘Aha Pūnana Leo use Skype, but to what degree I'm not sure.Skype didn't even exist when we piloted the classes at UHH back in 2002, the ‘APL added a Skype component a few years after we turned it over to them in @2005.  I'll email you the coordinator's contact information so you can contact him.
