Welcome to Mallard! Mallard is a web-based
learning tool where you will find many of your
course activities. Mallard will be used by all
sections of SPAN 102 and SPAN 106.

Mallard is like a workbook that gives you
immediate feedback on completed exercises.
Activities in Mallard correspond to activities
in Puntos de Partida and Puntos en Breve.
4
You can do Mallard work in the Language Lab
(Cabell 221), on any UVA computer, or on your own
computer.
5
If you use a UVA computer outside of the Language
Lab, bring your own headphones.
6
If you do Mallard work on your own computer, you
need to make sure your computer is ready. Your
computer will need Mozilla Firefox, Quicktime and
RealPlayer. These can be downloaded for free at
UVAs Information Technology and Communication
webpage www.itc.virginia.edu.

If you are working at an off-grounds computer,
make sure you have a proxy server account so that
the University servers will recognize you as
belonging to the University community. You can
set yourself up by going to www.itc.virginia.edu.

Finally, make sure that you have a copy of the
Mallard Manual. This is available on the toolkit
page for your class.
