30 | The LLC Commons portal is a free open-access portal that organizes a set of interactive online teaching modules designed for online and hybrid Russian language classes. The search function allows users to find materials for their class through a series of categories or tags (level, activity type, format, grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, orthography are the categories - the tags are more numerous) as well as through searching the index page (search by topic), or they can be found organized according to the sequence found in popular Russian textbooks used in North American institutions. The portal features multiple resources for teachers who are interested in developing their own modules and materials and provides a useful set of tutorials on how to create new and modify existing modules for your own class. All materials are licensed under Creative Commons and produced with the following principles in mind: interactivity, multimodality, modifiability, and portability. The LLC Commons portal also features an up-to-date interactive GIS map of programs in Slavic languages in the United States as a resource for building a community of online language instructors across the country and a venue where language program administrators can post videos about their online language programs and hybrid\online course offerings. |
