Helping to support French and those who teach it!
| Five University System
of Georgia
schools belong to a distance-learning collaborative: Georgia College
&
State University, North Georgia College & State University, Georgia
Southwestern University, and Valdosta State University. The
curriculum
on each campus shares a core of upper-level French courses with the
other
universities. Normally, over a two year period of time, one
distance-learning
course is offered each semester. Each course is developed by a
particular
professor, but with input and cooperation of the other collaborating
professors.
Through this collaborative effort each university is able to offer more
courses to more students than would otherwise be possible. Each
course
has an on-line computer component (WebCT), plus a live satellite
connection
component (GSAMS).
Students who study French at one of the collaborative institutions benefit from the expertise and resources of four university faculties, meet French students at the other institutions through their distance-learning courses, and gain information-age skills. Courses are normally offered Tuesday/Thursday 3:55 - 5:20 to allow those who are currently teaching to enroll. For additional information, please contact the French department of the school in your area where you wish to enroll or the collaborative coordinator, Jim Chesnut at 706 864-1774. |
