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.

We often interpret this goal area as one where students learn about other countries through social and cultural history in the form of study abroad, but instructors can also introduce students to a new language by looking into their local communities and personal backgrounds. In our “Communities” station, the tree represents Barnard’s own language education history. By learning about our own community, we can see how far we come and navigate we are going with the future of language instruction.
