French totally ONLINE was offered originally as a pilot program for 4 semesters of French,
through CSUS from 2005-2007.

This program was part of the CSU Virtual Language Lab program, which
developed into the CSU Monterey Bay - CSU Sacramento Consortium.
Its origins were from the CSU STRLNG project
(Strategic Language Initiative).

The online French course program, offered to any CSU campus concurrently-enrolled student,
was successful for five years, ending in May 2010.

This format is no longer offered from Sac State University.
It attracted concurrent enrollment students from other CSU campuses, where French was not offered.
In particular, students were given the opportunity to learn French as beginners at
CSU Monterey Bay, Stanislaus, Fresno, Los Angeles, other community colleges as well as
the ACE (Sac State Accelerated College Entrance) program for high school students.

The learning elements included graded assignments & assessments in reading, writing, listening and speaking skills.
