Acknowledgments¶
Thanks!
No large project is done in isolation...we have so many people to thank for their assistance!
We are grateful for the opportunity to create an interactive, communicative open educational resource for Western Armenian. We'd like to thank Michigan State University and the Mellon Foundation for partly funding our endeavor. We also thank our institutions—Harvard University and Columbia University—as well as our department Chairs for supporting our work.
Thanks are due to those who helped us record new material in the form of dialogues or audio recordings. We would be lost without all our willing and able participants—Ani, Seta, Roupen, Kevork, and many others.
We want to also acknowledge all those who came before us—educators, professors, scholars, and enthusiastic supporters of Western Armenian. We learned much from the work you have done for the language. We have linked to original sources of materials we used in our non-commercial, not-for-profit OER. Please let us know if you would like your content taken down, and we will honor your request.
And finally, a thanks is due to our students, who piloted the OER and provided us with excellent feedback on their experience using our tool. The them we say: "You're the future of Western Armenian! Ապրի՜ք..."
