Online resources for GermanThe goal of this project is to compile a list of available online resources to assist German instructors who may need to design language courses in an online environment, either quickly or over time. If you have further suggestions to webpages or articles on design/tips, please contact me via email or Twitter.
Just because something is listed does not mean it is my personal recommendation - please read all information before joining an online experience or asking your students to do so. |
