Free at last! A flexible learning tool: enhancement, engagement and empowerment

Web-based interactive lessons are potentially more engaging and enhance the quality of learning. This paper presents results of an online survey on the perceived experience of first year advanced and second year beginners' stream Japanese language students using a web-based learning tool. Findings indicate that collaboration by stakeholders during the learning process leads to improved approaches to achieving the optimum learning experience and outcome. Moreover, a learner-centred approach combined with appropriate learning strategies frees up the learning process, providing a positive and rewarding experience for all involved.
