This might interest somebody.  It sounds like a neat workshop, but you'd
need funding of some sort.

2001 SUMMER WORKSHOP
July 16-July 27, 2001
"Documenting and Teaching American Indian Languages through Multimedia"
American Indian Studies Research Institute (AISRI)
http://zia.aisri.indiana.edu/~workshop/


You are invited to participate in a workshop designed for linguists,
educators and scholars  working with Native American languages.  Our
focus is the use of digital, interactive  multimedia tools for language
documentation and instruction. Choose one of three  workshop tracks:  (1)
creating
multimedia dictionaries and databases, featuring the Indiana Dictionary
Database, a computer
application developed at AISRI; (2) producing language lessons for CD ROMs
by using
the Indiana Language Lesson Creator, another new application produced at
AISRI; (3) or
developing cultural lessons and resourcesfor the World Wide Web.   Each
session will include
hands-on experience with audio and graphics digitizing software, content
design
and evaluation, and effective multimedia teaching strategies.

Familiarity with computers and multimedia software is useful but not
mandatory; media specialists are encouraged to accompany educators with
little computer experience.  Come with a specific project in mind and
materials you'd like to develop. Workshops will be tailored to address
participants'
specific goals.
