This is an important issue, so I am posting publicly. In order to save space, I
defer to TBob whose lab students experience our same issues (no computer and
such). Dorms do not furnish computers, which leaves many of our students
dependent on the labs for access. Visit the piney woods of East Texas and you
will understand the reality of "remote" access. 
Our intro language courses are 4 credit hours; 3 hours classroom/ one in the lab
(it took many years to whittle this down from 2 hours). Students register for
their preferred lab hour. Most students access their online materials in lab
(having no other means of access). Activities in lab include everything from
assigned homework to test and presentation prep.

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
