Dear Roger Graves, Can English be taught successfully online? Many instructors freeze at the prospect of teaching online, thinking of the digital world as a vast, unknowable space requiring specialized tools and, worse, specialized pedagogy. Not true. Writing teachers can move into an online course by drawing from that most familiar of places: their own teaching experience. Here are a few NCTE resources that speak on the subject of online English courses. • “Collaboration and Critical Thinking in Online English Courses” A community college English instructor implements alternative methods of communication to ensure course rigor and integrity as she meets her objectives of enhanced student learning and success. • Easing Your Transition to Teaching Writing Online - This, the first of three webinars about teaching writing online, will provide instructors with strategies for reflecting on one’s teaching strengths and then converting those strengths into an online course experience. • Using Grading and Assessment to Maximize the Online Writing Course Experience--—without Burning Out - This seminar will offer a pedagogical and philosophical approach to reasonable evaluation while providing specific assignments, grading strategies, and rubrics.
