Increased enrollment in Spanish and the availability of technologies such as Elluminate, podcasting, narrated presentations, and streaming video served as the catalyst for creating an online version of Elementary Spanish II. The use of technologies aided greatly in creating a pedagogically-sound class, while allowing a diverse group of students to communicate, practice, and test their language skills with each other and the instructor. The design process, and challenges of putting a traditional class online to reflect current Second Language Acquisition pedagogy, will be discussed. Results from student surveys after implementation will be presented. We will discuss questions that surround implementing an online class: Who are the students? Are they prepared for the online environment? What is the attrition rate? What are some issues that teachers encounter? How do the grades compare to traditional, on-campus classes? Are students adequately prepared to continue to the Intermediate level?
