Introduction

The development of our learning course started back in 2002, as an answer for the increasing need of Hebrew-teaching resources worldwide. Our team, conformed by the best Hebrew teachers in Israel, together with the members of our department for technology and development, considered the different existing options in the internet, their advantages and disadvantages, and came up with a complete new and exclusive course for learning Hebrew on-line.

The learning approach of Ulpanet

The Ulpanet Hebrew learning program was developed following the idea that the right approach to learn a new language is based on the interactive involvement of the student with hundreds of educational activities, rather than a passive non-interactive overview of the course contents.

According to this vision, Ulpanet Hebrew-learning course includes almost 1000 interactive home-works and activities, which assist the student in his/her purchase of the knowledge. Our pedagogic approach in Ulpanet states that interactivity is not choosing the "right option" from a multiple choice task, by which all the possible options are given anyway.

In Ulpanet, the student must write down the correct answer to a question (by using a virtual keyboard, thus eliminating the need for the download of Hebrew fonts to your computer), and by use of some other tools:

• moving words
• puzzles
• memory-games
• personal tests
• sound (by which the student learns how to correctly pronounce and express the words in Hebrew).

During these tasks, the student receives a continuous didactic feedback, depending on the task, in each step of the procedure

Learning management in Ulpanet

The different courses in Ulpanet are activated by a learning management system created specifically for Ulpanet. This system analyses constantly the results of the student for each task and for each learning level during the course. The personalized data in the system allows the system to decide regarding the most proper next step for each student, thus creating a personal learning profile. In every step, and in every level, the student is allowed to receive a detailed and full report from the system, regarding his/her achievements so far.
