 * How to Make Online Language Courses more Interactive**

Many online courses are text-based meaning students need to learn through reading. This works if a student's learning style is visual. However, if a student’s learning style is auditory or kinesthetic, the student cannot learn as much. This presentation shows how to incorporate audio/visual-based interactive materials into the online environment. The presentation will show how to make such materials, explain what software is needed, and show how to integrate these materials into course management systems such as Blackboard. In this way, the audience will be able to learn how to make such materials through attending this session.
