The ELIAS evaluation grids for on- and offline language courses are available in English, French, and German (free download) and can be used for vocationally oriented (= VOLL), professional - , and general language courses. Two EUROVOLT project members, Steffen Skowronek (University of Potsdam) and Inge-Anna Koleff (VWV), are active members of ELIAS and have contributed to the latest developement of the grids in collaboration with other members of ELIAS (the international working group for the evaluation of computer software and internet materials for language learning). You can select the language you want the site to be displayed in (English, French, or German). The objective is to apply quality criteria for the assessment of media-based language learning materials (on- and offline) and to produce independent evaluations of language courses.
