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<http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/18104854:20693367657:m:1:2040430047:A3A7DF44A1CB27C20D39B7CF0D09DE3E:r>”
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<http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/18104855:20693367657:m:1:2040430047:A3A7DF44A1CB27C20D39B7CF0D09DE3E:r>
-
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<http://echo4.bluehornet.com/ct/18104856:20693367657:m:1:2040430047:A3A7DF44A1CB27C20D39B7CF0D09DE3E:r>
-
This seminar will offer a pedagogical and philosophical approach to
reasonable evaluation while providing specific assignments, grading
strategies, and rubrics.
