Deutsch Digital is a Web-based software program developed to deliver adaptive and scalable instruction to German language students. The software dynamically generates instruction based on student feedback while drawing on Flash learning modules and QuickTime audio files stored on the server. Important student data (e.g., student response time and answers) are stored in the database for later data mining, evidence-based evaluation, and software fine-tuning. The software can be adapted for use with other languages and language emphases (e.g., German for Engineers).
