Professors Shoko Hamano and Wakana Cavanaugh received the 2011 MERLOT (The Multimedia Educational Resource for Learning and Online Teaching) World Languages Classic Award for Exemplary Online Learning Resources for their online learning resource Visualizing Japanese Grammar.
MERLOT recognizes and promotes outstanding online resources designed to enhance teaching and learning. The award is granted to honor the authors and developers for their contributions to the academic community. As an exemplary online learning resource, Professors Hamano and Cavanaugh’s website is posted on the MERLOT website here. The original website is here.
The MERLOT World Languages Editorial Board has this to say about the learning material:
This is an excellent resource that would add value to the study of Japanese grammar through engaging graphics, informative text, and helpful audio explanations. The use of animation, color change in the key words, well thought out timing of the text and images coming out on slides, alongside the audio narration has made the structure of Japanese grammar more readily accessible to learners.
Professor Hamano represented the team and received the 2011 Classics award plaque at the 2011 MERLOT/Sloan-C Emerging Technologies Conference on July 12th in San Jose, California. Click here.
