Abstract
Avenue ASL, an integrated software environment to capture, evaluate, self-assess, and manage American Sign Language (ASL) performance, is being developed at the University of Minnesota to improve student language learning and increase the efficiency of existing assessment/instructional processes. The software enables students to capture videos of several sign-language assessment tasks and submit them via a computer network for assessment. In addition to deploying model performances for student review, instructors can access recorded files, administer grades, and provide both textual and video feedback to students in a timely fashion. Avenue ASL exhibits significant pedagogical potential and represents a model for future assessment across diverse language learning and performance-based curricula.
