Design Analysis of Livemocha

The site that I joined is Livemocha. Livemocha is a language learning site. They offer lesson plans which include over 160 hours of beginner to intermediate level content. From everyday conversation to reading and writing. The site allows us to learn and teach from other members from all over the world. It is a global community.

This is my home page. I have an image and made up name :]
It list the languages I want to learn, and the languages that I do know along with the level of how much I know the language. My recent activity shows what I have done so far, I have started the Italian 101 course.
If you scroll down you will see the list of friends that I have (so far none) and next to it a list of people I will find interested and people I might be able to connect to.

There are no events, or lounges that users can go to interact, I did went around to look, and the closets to interacting with a large number of users online was by clicking on the top tab that says SHARE. It shows the submissions from other people, they add their work and others can correct them and help them. There are exercises that one can do and others can view to see how they do.

 

I find this a very good learning site, the course are very fun and efficient. 

You learn how to pronounce the words, read and write it. To the side it gives you tips and at the bottom it shows you how to read it. I really like this site to learn but as a way to interact with others, for me it hasn't gone anywhere. I would have to add other users and talk. I think that those who really want to learn will learn, there are a lot of resources available on the site. There is the option open for you to know others, but its mainly focus on learning, and not so much on the interactive part of others. I will continue to see how I do in this site and see how I can interact and use that to my advantage to learn to speak a new language.
