A new website ( http://hindiurdu.net) has just been released that hosts Hindi-Urdu Blended Teaching Resources. ("Blended" in this context means partly online.) These include over twenty proficiency-oriented videos aimed at various language levels that were filmed at and around Michigan State University in summer 2010. These have captions, as well as tags for level, using ACTFL, ILR, and the more common "basic, intermediate, advanced" scale. There is also an online devanagari writing guide, which will redraw handwriting samples and allow students to trace and write using their mouse, stylus, or finger on a tablet device. Efforts have been to make these resources function on older computers as well as latest mobile devices, so they will also work on the iPad and iPhone by using HTML5, the newly emerging web standard.
