As a member of ERP, I have contributed to the creation and administration of a number of professional websites.

The Call Place / TESOL Arabia 2002 Conference* / The MLI* / The MLI Student Center*
*These sites are no longer under my administration and are subject to change.
 
   The CALL Place
  Formerly The EFL Resource Center, The CALL Place is an ongoing personal project which includes EFL resources I have collected over the years. I began this project in early 1999 and constantly modify and add to it. Highlights include an ever expanding listening practice section and an ALCPT test-prep section. This site is a proving ground so expect a few "in process" projects.
 
   TESOL Arabia 2002 Conference Website
  The Co-Chair of the TESOL Arabia 2002 Conference, Zafar Syed, approached ERP with this project in mid-2001. In addition to designing and administering this site, ERP worked closely with all committee chairs to facilitate the storage and retrieval of conference data. Our closest relationship was with the Proposal Committee who required online proposal submission, an evaluation interface for proposal reviewers, auto-generated e-mails, and the collection of proposal information for scheduling purposes. As of TESOL Arabia Conference 2004, this platform is still being used by the Conference Committee. Knowledge of .html, javascript, .asp, .css, Access Database, and basic VB script was necessary for the creation and administration of this site. We also served as co-chairs of the Technology Village Committee for this conference.
 
   Teacher-2-Teacher 2001 Conference Website
  This project was begun simultaneously with the 2002 TESOL Arabia Conference and shares a number of similar traits. ERP exerted more administrative influence over this project since it was an "in house" affair. In addition to online proposal forms and data collection, the T2T site included an online registration interface. Knowledge of .html, javascript, .asp, .css, Access Database, and basic VB script was necessary for the creation and administration of this site. ERP was also responsible for managing the Technology Fair section of this conference.
 
   The MLI Online Student Center
  The MLI Online Student Center was the child of an already existent Intranet Student Center. This project was actually first posted in February of 2001 for the TESOL International Conference in St. Louis and was re-released in an expanded form in October 2001 for demonstration on the Global Learning Day site. The expanded version includes database generated links to curriculum specific Internet sites and materials generated by instructors at the MLI. Templates, tutorials, and "Internet site windows" are also included. Knowledge of .html, javascript, .asp, Access Database, and basic VB script was necessary for the creation and administration of this site.
 
   The MLI Online
  This site marked the entry of the MLI into the Internet world. Begun as merely a source for information for perspective instructors, the site quickly became the sole application venue for all perspective MLI instructors. Much of the technology involved with the site is behind the scenes. An interesting series of data entry pages sift applicant information and organize that information for use in the MLI Recruitment Department. Most MLI employees received their first view of the MLI through this site. The "CALL Virtual Tour" element to the site displays collections of teaching materials which make use of technology. Knowledge of .html, javascript, .asp, .css, Access Database, and basic VB script was necessary for the creation and administration of this site.
