MMLC Welcomes Summer Interns

The MMLC welcomes three talented interns to the staff: Cambrey Thomas, Yana Myaskovskaya, and Aaron Menninga.

Where Did Grandfather Go?

The MMLC welcomes to Northwestern University from France Mr. Michel Yačche, whose testimony figures in the Picpus Digital Archives project curated by the MMLC. Mr. Yačche was a French-born Jewish teenager living in Paris during the German occupation. His family, originally from Salonica, was cruelly divided by the policies that initially protected Jews considered French citizens over those who were not. The talk will take place in Harris Hall, room 107, on Sunday, April 6, 2008, from 2-3 p.m.

Starting this quarter, the MMLC has made available on a limited basis, a trial installation of Moodle, an award-winning open-source couse management system. The alternative CMS offers an enhanced multi-lingual option to Blackboard and is currently in use by three Portuguese language courses.
