ASL Technical & Specialized Vocabulary Resource Dictionary 
The Technical & Specialized Vocabulary ASL Dictionary offers a way to deal with a wide spectrum of topic areas that interpreters are faced with everyday. Rather than offer these in alphabetical order, like most dictionaries, hypermedia allows interpreters to learn vocabulary in the order needed, according to what challenges their assignments give them. Few people would think of a dictionary as a professional development vehicle, but by selecting assignments, learning through the classroom and doing selective homework, the interpreter can build understanding and vocabulary simultaneously. The dictionary is set up in major categories and further subdivided into categories making navigation as simple as point and click and each entry shows the author as the sign model for that term.

Build and Read 
OVERVIEW The program begins with an animation of a futuristic city. In order to construct buildings, words must be created. The student chooses from one of five construction zones that represent each of the five vowels: A, E, I, O, U. Students build words by clicking on the correct onset that makes a word with a given rime. Over 650 words and 65 rimes are included, each ranging from three to six letters. A set of rimes is randomly selected for each vowel. As the student clicks on the correct onset, he or she hears the word pronounced and receives affirmation. Once the building is complete, the student is returned to the main menu and allowed to choose to work in another zone. If the student does not meet 70% mastery, the building will not be complete, and the student will be automatically returned to the main menu. After the student has mastered all words in the construction zone, the building becomes a reward screen with full animation. A final reward screen is shown after mastering all five construction zones.
