The materials have been published in ATR CALL BRIX, a www- based courseware in order to make the learning materials available to teachers for in-class coursework and outside-of-class assignments, and also to students to use independently of coursework through the use of computers with Internet access.

The learning environment is one of teachers and students in a partnership in which teachers can be said to be doing their work most effectively as the students gain independence and control over their own learning
