French Online has been significantly rewritten, with support from the Hewlett Foundation through the Open Learning Initiative at Carnegie Mellon, and additionally through the NSF-funded Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center, a joint Carnegie Mellon-Univeristy of Pittsburgh project. The two Elementary semesters will be offered through the OLI site, including a publicly available version for independent learners.

Among changes are be the capacity for extensive student tracking and modeling, enhnaced media integration (including new video shot in Nantes) and interactivity, and iterative research-driven development.

Two semesters of Chinese Online have also been created with funding from the Pittsburgh Science of Learning Center. Enrollment is currently limited to CMU students through normal procedures.
