SOL at the University of British Columbia

Rita joined the University of British Columbia (UBC) in 2008, initially teaching conversational courses in the Continuing Studies department (now Extended Learning). After earning her Master’s degree in Educational Technology from UBC, she developed a series of Reading, Writing, and Latin American Culture courses spanning all proficiency levels. Together, these courses comprise the Spanish Online (SOL) program. Hosted on the UBC Canvas learning management system, the curriculum is updated annually. The courses are open to the general public and serve as a core component of the UBC Certificate in Practical and Business Spanish.
