IV. Software Development
Hyper Hindi
This computer-based course is called "Story Teller: An Interactive Literary-Linguistic Approach to the teaching of the Hindi language." The conceptual framework of the program incorporates the building blocks of the language. The students have access to graphemic, transliterational, syllabic, word and sentence structure of the text in question. The distinctive features of the program was presented in the conference on " Teaching Tools of the 90's", November 1992. Syracuse University is committed to TATU Program which aims at teaching through advanced technology to undergraduates. Attempts are being made to develop a state of the art type multimedia lab to impart language instruction. Hindi is a part of this program.
On October 15, 1991 Chancellor Kenneth Shaw visited the lab and viewed the computer-based language programs under development. The Hindi program was the only non-Western program which was included in this event. We understand that the Chancellor was impressed with the quality of the programs under development and has subsequently persuaded the Board of the Trustees to visit the lab in November of 1991.
The existing program was released for teaching and testing during the Fall of 1992. The salient features of this program were shown at the 14th SALA Conference at Stanford University during the summer of 1992 and some other language teaching centers in the nation such as SUNY Oswego. The BBC (London) did a story on this project last year. Some universities and organizations (from India, Saudi Arabia) have expressed interest in implementing this program for teaching purposes.
The program has the following four major components:
This program has been funded in part by a grant from the Department of Education and supported by FACES (Faculty Assistance and Computing Education Services) at Syracuse University.
Hypercard Hindi Writer Program. (This is a pilot program which teaches the Devanagari writing system on microcomputers using Hypercard 2.0.)
During 1993, a grant from Syracuse University to enhance the developmental capabilities of the computer-based Hindi program. This grant has made it possible to develope the second phase of the course called Hypercard Hindi Writer Program.
