Our lower-division classes are 4 credits, and we used to have 4 hours of face
time per week. Using the model of our lab science classes and the corpus of "no
significant difference" research, we substituted 2 hours of lab time for one
hour of face time. Students sign up for lab at hours relatively convenient for
them. Since we have lost funding an our half-time lab director, we have moved to
1 hour lab/ 1 hour at home. Much of what students do in the lab is testable in
unit tests, and there is some task-based learning going on. We need the lab
because there are a number of students with inadequate facilities at home (no
computer, phone-line access, no satisfactory way to make digital recordings,
never keep current java, etc.). Ain't like in them ivy-league schools.

Hello all,
I am curious how many schools have a scheduled language lab/technology
hour built into their curriculum (e.g., students meet in the classroom
3 times a week and once in the lab or online from home).
If your school has a lab hour, can you please write me back and let me
know? I would also be curious to know what students do during that
time. Please respond to me directly at [log in to unmask]
Thank you,
Tina
