        A variety of learning materials were used synchronously and asynchronously to achieve the best learning results. Instructor-designed PPTs were used for synchronous online tutoring sessions via the Live Classroom on Chineseforall.org. Authentic materials (print and digital) were used for both face-to-face group sessions and for completing assignments after the online sessions.
