The Viva Project: the Virtual Interactive Village in the Ardèche - Philip Benz, techLearning

The Viva village is a dynamic online writing project created by a team of educators including Christine Nucci, Benjamin Friess and Jérémy Royannez from the CDDP de l'Ardèche and Philip Benz, English teacher at the Lycée Astier in Aubenas. After several years of experimenting with message board projects, we have tried to bring together a whole palette of tools that will allow both teacher-guided written expression activities and student-centered free-form writing in the target language. It's a space where students can not only work on themes developed in class, but also express themselves openly and autonomously on subjects of their own choosing.
