CourseShare for Fall 2020: Now Online and with New Opportunities!
For Fall 2020, all received CourseShare courses at the University of Minnesota will be offered exclusively online. Students will connect individually, rather than meet together as a group in Jones Hall. Based on the mostly very positive feedback we received from students last spring when CourseShare classes unexpectedly went online, we expect that this planned online experience will provide a more engaging and interactive experience than is generally possible with room-to-room video conferencing exchanges.
Some additional exchanges have recently been added, including multiple levels of Catalan and the return of Basque. On the other hand, some other language courses like Haitian Creole, Yoruba and Egyptian currently have no enrollment and the exchanges may be canceled. If you know students interested in those languages, now is the time to register!
The following CourseShare courses are now open for Fall 2020 registration:
- LANG 1201: Beginning Basque I

- LANG 3014: Reading Catalan for Research Purposes

Please note that space is limited in all of these courses, and that most have special start and end dates.
