Center for Teaching & Learning

January 11 & 13*

This two-part workshop supports instructors in selecting and implementing strategies for teaching writing online (synchronously or asynchronously) and lays the foundation for exploring what online writing instruction looks like. We’ll overview approaches to teaching writing, focusing on structures for communicating expectations; options for giving meaningful, sustainable feedback; and possible strategies for synchronous and asynchronous writing and peer-review activities.   

The January 11 session focuses on  

• Establishing course clarity (conceptually and in Blackboard) 

• Syllabi: what’s different for online courses? 
• Organization: how to help you and students keep things straight 

The January 13 session focuses on 

• Empathetic presence: how to make online courses humane? 

• Peer and instructor response: how to manage your workload and help students help each other? 
• Reflective practice: how will you know things are working? 

Facilitated by Susanmarie Harrington, Writing in the Disciplines
