This online learning evironment allowed students to read and analyze different varieties of Middle English, a generic name for the dialects of England and Scotland 1100-1550). The resources were intended for students to learn at set rhythms but in their own space and time. It was used as a supplement to literature courses.

### Teaching Challenge:
