The Munich based language specialist will be showcasing the company's new virtual language lab service, which pro-vides a completely new and innovative approach to audio and video quality.

digital publishing's new virtual classroom solution is integrated into the global blended learning service CLT. The new software was developed by digital publishing software engineers in Munich with the special needs of language students in mind, who are mostly looking for excellent audio and clear video quality when communicating with their tutor in a virtual classroom. In September 2008, the new live online language training service was introduced to the German consumer market together with Europe´s most successful language training software "Interactive language tour". It will now be launched to corporate customers world-wide. With the virtual classroom soft-ware, which allows students and teachers to communicate via webcam, headset and chat func-tion, learners can use their newly acquired skills to talk about current topics. This immediate use of the foreign language and the interaction with others motivates the students to keep learning.
