Abstract

This article outlines the nature of the FirstClass computer conferencing program and considers its effectiveness in helping to develop a computer-based learning environment in modern languages at the University of Ulster. A wide range of different transactions is outlined and surveys of staff and student reactions are assessed. Their positive responses demonstrate that FirstClass is effective in establishing such an environment, enable us to draw encouraging lessons from our experience and indicate exciting possibilities of immediate further development.
