In this presentation, educators will learn how to design a new language course from the ground up for free. Using examples from a new German course taught with open educational resources at the University of Mississippi, this presentation introduces educators to an inexpensive, coordinated approach to language proficiency training and assessment. Participants will receive access to a digital toolkit for building a new language course in German, including a syllabus, assignments, grammar tutorials, vocabulary decks, in-class assessments and presentations.
