Virtual Promenades
Client: Jane Kaplan

Jane Kaplan, a Professor of French in the Department of Modern Languages & Literature, has often walked the street of Paris over the years. During her meanderings, Jane snapped pictures of interesting scenes: a man selecting fresh fruit along a busy street or a transportation sign in the Metro. Later, Jane printed these arresting photos on overhead transparencies and incorporated them into her classroom lectures.

Now, Jane shares these walks with hundreds of online visitors every day. Jane has just launched her first-in-a-series of “Virtual Promenades”. She narrates each stop in both French and English. Not sure which version to listen to? Simple -- just click on your “Language Preference” button. Toggling back and forth between French and English is a great way for Jane’s French students to drill and practice their conversational skills. There’s even an option to show and hide trans-scripted subtitles.
