The possible fourth course in Franco phone Literature may be created as well. Professor Patty Davis then outlined the development of the Two-Year College Distance Learning Collaborative of South Georgia designed to share faculty, to expand offerings, and to provide consecutive sequencing for lower division Spanish, French, German and Japanese courses. The Collaborative has received additional funding to upgrade language laboratory and GSAMs facilities and to hire two full time faculty in foreign languages. They have had good success and satisfaction rates with course offerings. Present projects are to offer Spanish 1001, Japanese 1001 and German 1001 as WEB based courses.
Prospects seem exciting, but the future is unsure, especially for the recently hired faculty.
Professor Davis noted that additional Adjunct Professors may be provided through an Exchange Program to bring language instructors from Spain to Georgia. Dr. Sutton confirmed that such a proposal would be considered this summer. Dr. Lloyd noted that with the proliferation of initiatives, communication from the central office to the campuses is of special concern. In response to Dr. Bryan's request for items to be placed on the following meeting's agenda, Dr. Joyce Peoples requested a discussion of CPC requirements. The meeting was then adjourned until the following morning.
