2012 Update: This was a pioneering online presentation, in 2006, a blog post combining an embedded SlideShare presentation with an embedded podcast player for the speech. In such ways people can relive the original conference presentation. However, the two podcasting hosts I used are both defunct. Since 2005 I have been actively using my Japanese-English campus blog, which includes online presentations. All the sound files and presentations are available along with other publications at the Bilingualism and Japanology Intersection Website. The WAOE organization is still active as well. - Prof. Steve McCarty, Osaka Jogakuin College & Osaka Jogakuin University.

To whom it may concern, at a recent special WAOE Board of Directors meeting a Resolution was passed to clarify WAOE's ethical stance and the bounds of its relations to other entities in the field of online learning and education.
Your understanding is appreciated,

WAOE is starting a special Board of Directors' Meeting to deal with changing circumstances. Members received passwords around July 2005 to access a BBS-type forum for WAOE communications after our e-mail discussion lists were continually spammed and hacked.
The forum URL is http://waoe.org/phpBB2/index.php

However, on the open Web the following is newly available:
WAOE Spoken Libraries: 2006 Update by Nick Bowskill

Recent publications include a couple of presentations in Japanese, a book review in the Asian Studies journal Pacific Affairs (University of British Columbia), and:

"Interview with Professor Eiko Kato, First in the World to Apply iPods to Education"
GLOCOM Platform - Special Topics - Colloquium #64: March 7, 2006
Tokyo: International University of Japan, Japanese Center for Global Communications

An interesting development in podcasting is starting with the universities of Illinois and San Francisco, a repository to share academic podcasts. I'll be one of the first outside of North America to podcast the lectures for a whole course in Bilingual Education, but it will be available only on a campus audio blog. However, I'm glad to share those at Japancasting.
