- Description
- The following information is added as a result of questions received regarding the statement of work for this project. (1) Is there any information available concerning the size/length of the existing courses and what software was used to produce them originally. Specifically, are they currently web-enabled? ANSWER: Each lesson is based on a 3 - 3.5 minute voice recording, so each lesson is close to the same size. (There are 10 lessons in each of the 4 languages.) The Voice .wav file is 32 MB; the Transcript Word .doc file is 35 KB, the Acrobat .pdf file is 64.7 KB; the Translation .doc file is 34.5 KB, .pdf file is 85.9 KB; the Glossary .doc file is 128 KB, the .pdf file is 290 KB; the Cloze Exercise .doc file is 31.5 KB, the .pdf file is 93.5 KB; the Grader Key .doc file is 34.5 KB, the .pdf file is 102 KB. All files for all 10 lessons are contained in digital form on CD, one for each of the 4 languages. Currently linguists listen to the voice on cassette tape, and use hard-copies of all the graphic files. No work has been done toward making them usable on computer beyond ensuring their availability in digital file form. (2) Would it be possible to view a sample of the ten courses? ANSWER: A sample lesson will be e-mailed to all receipients of the SOW, today, 02 Sep 03. (3) Are all of the source files from the originally produced courses available?

Does this mean that the synopsis will be the only source of information for this project? ANSWER: A Statement of work and sample lesson is available upon receipt of a faxed or e-mailed request. (6) Is there a deadline for the project to be completed or are the competitors free to propose a schedule?
