Blackboard Learn
I have been using "Blackboard Learn" for all of my university online courses. Well now individual teachers can use the same learning environment to create a virtual classroom for their students and it is completely FREE! The options for online video/voice chat are wonderful for getting students to practice their FL outside of class. They can also send voice e-mails to classmates and record assignments on voice board. Classes can be set up totally online, as hybrid classes or simply as a supplement to your face-to-face environment at school. Students will learn to use the same technology they will be using at the university level with Wikis, blogs, mashups, and so much more! This is exactly what I have been looking for and it it better than many sites that charge a high fee for less (as with Moodle hosting). If you have wanted to create your own online course, This is the best I have found! Students can also access Blackboard through Blackboard learning apps for their smartphones or iPad which can be downloaded at iTunes and android stores.
