CAN-8 Virtual Language Lab

Over the summer of 2012, members of the Mi’gmaq Research Project worked with the teachers at the Listuguj Education Directorate to make a digital version of the Mi’gmaq classes students take at the Directorate. The software used is called CAN-8, and it is a great tool for language-learning when the teacher is far away.

Right now, the Mi’gmaq CAN-8 has a lot of content uploaded, but we are developing more. If you’re interested in becoming a test-driver for the program, follow these steps:

  1. Contact Joe Wilmot to get the address for the server, as well as a username and password. Joe’s email is joew [at] listugujeducation [dot] com
  2. Download the CAN8 program by downloading the files here and here. Note that CAN8 only runs on PC computers.
  3. Install CAN8.
    1. Move the ZIP file and the EXE file you just downloaded to your C:/Program Files folder.
    2. Expand the ZIP if you computer hasn’t already done it automatically. You can usually do this just by double-clicking.
    3. Run the EXE–a window should pop up for CAN8.
  4. Use your server address and login information to explore the CAN8 material.
  5. If you have any problems or questions, please contact us! Our email address is info [at] migmaq [dot] org
  6. Subscribe to the blog to keep updated about new lessons added to CAN8!
