Excellent question Norval!

1.  Gen. Ed. Courses:  We don't have a mandatory lab hour for our students.  So, instead we are working to establish "Learning Communities" through peer-lead (senior students or international students) study groups.  The focus is on giving our students more opportunity speak and use the language in simulated experiences.

2.  Gen. Ed. Courses:  Increasing students' mobile learning options to meet the needs of a 50% commuter student population & an increasing population of students who are non-traditional with work and family responsibilities

3.  Majors / Minors: Encouraging use of peer-to-peer technologies (web conferencing, Google docs (peer editing / translation)).

4.  Majors / Minors:  Increasing faculty technology competencies particularly as it relates to mobile learning and on-line / hybrid teaching.

5.  Majors / Minors:  Individualized Language Plans - using our assessment program to create individualized language learning plans

6.  Majors / Minors:  Supporting our Service Learning courses through innovative technologies (as fits the course).

7.  Program Development Support:  Expanding our World Languages Meet for High School students & teachers

There are many others but these are probably the biggest challenges and highlights.

I look forward to seeing what all the others contribute to this discussion!
