Abstract
This collection brings together innovative research and approaches for blended learning using digital technology in interpreter education for signed and spoken languages. 21 experts report on the current technology used to provide digital enhancements to interpreter education in Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Belgium, Finland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This study focuses on the technology itself, rather than how technology enhances curriculum, delivery, or resources.
Initiatives described range from on-demand interpreting using iPad technology; introducing students to interpreting in a 3D world; applying gaming principles to interpreter education; assessing the amenability of the digital pen in the hybrid mode of interpreting; developing multimedia content for both open access and structured interpreter education environments; to preparing interpreting students for interactions in social media forums, and more. This volume provides a context for the application of technologies in interpreter education from an international viewpoint across languages and modalities. [Based on publisher information]
