The Spoken Word resource web site will be designed to help students, educators, researchers, and general users make better use of spoken word digital libraries, and it will promote the distinct features and advantages of digital repositories. We will attempt to exploit the flexibility of digital media and libraries to promote students abilities to construct and define explicitly their own meaningful interpretation of original source audio materials.
To this end, this site will have a host of materials on using online sound resources. While there will be some advanced materials, the bulk of the information will focus on helping users understand the basics of finding and using online sound.
