In the winter of 2009, we started the development of our SNOWBALLS e-learning system, to help Japanese students learn technical English vocabulary, to help international students in their academic lives in Japan, and for staff and teachers to deal with the needs of a globalizing campus. Despite the limited availability of resources, an ambitious 10 year plan had been formulated, and at this midpoint, we make up the balance. We involve students in the system & content development. This has various benefits, but also drawbacks. Some benefits are that the system is tailored to the needs and likes of the end-users, that the students bring a large variety of (engineering) backgrounds with them, and that they learn various skills through their involvement. Drawbacks are the variation of the style and quality and a lack of continuity, as well as the difficulty of balancing between educational objectives and SNOWBALLS project goals.
