Abstract

This paper discusses the success factors and pitfalls in development of e-content for languages. The factors discussed draw on several years of experience in developing and implementing 95% distance courses for Dutch as a second language in the adult education sector in Flanders and on PhD research at VUB. The CEFR [Common European Framework of Reference for Languages] provides language centres with a profound pedagogical framework necessary when developing language courses. The 10 success factors and 5 pitfalls in the development of e-content for languages discussed in this text comprise practical guidelines, which can affect the process of creating qualitative e-content for languages positively.
