Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Contemporary pedagogical approaches remove us from the rigid grammatical rules of yesteryear’s coursework, and provide us with the space to practice real world verbal and written skills. This large touchscreen, a symbol of the significance of “Communication” goal, provides visitors with Barnard faculty interviews, student projects, and resources to help motivate language learners to start communicating.
