Web Gloss for Foreign Language Texts
Web Gloss is a web-based application for glossing authentic texts online and making them available as annotated books with rich multimedia resources. The glossing author selects “Hotwords” from an uploaded text and then creates or chooses content-related links to text, audio, graphic and video annotations. Any teacher will be able to use this tool to annotate their texts and make them available to students on the Internet or via personal mobile devices. Please contact John Vitaglione for assistance in getting started.
