Many textbook publishers are now providing a full suiteof online materials to accompany their books. Online workbooks are increasingly provided for elementary level language courses. The activities and features vary by book. Presenters in this workshop will provide an overview of the features available in the online workbook used at UNCC in Elementary French, Elementary German, and Elementary Spanish.

Presenters will discuss:

• Features and activities in the workbooks they use
• How they incorporate the workbook activities into their course
• Administrative issues:
  • How to grant student access
  • How students purchase the books
  • How long students have access to the books
  • Handling technical questions
• Tips for selecting and evaluating an online workbook

This showcase will be of interest to faculty alreadyusing online workbooks who may wish to see examples of other online workbooks and to discuss implementation issues and for faculty who are not using an online workbook but who are interested in learning about them.
