Workshop: Transition to Teaching Writing Online          

Course ID - CTD0478c

Short Title: Writing Online   

Description:
This workshop, part of a series, is designed to provide writing faculty with strategies for meeting the challenges of today’s first-year composition classroom. Each workshop includes an hour-long web seminar featuring lecture and instruction of a key literacy expert on an important topic. Following the seminar, there will be meaningful interaction and discussion among the participants guided by a CTD facilitator. Finally, participants will complete a required assignment that focuses on reflection and application.

Many instructors freeze at the prospect of teaching online, thinking of it as a vast, unknowable digital space requiring specialized tools and, worse, specialized pedagogy. Not true. Writing teaches can move into an online course by drawing from that most familiar of places: Their own teaching experience. In this webinar about teaching writing online, presenter Scott Warnock will provide instructors with strategies for reflecting on one’s teaching strengths and then converting those strengths into an online course experience.
 

Objectives

As a result of successful completion of the workshop, participants will be able to:

•  To self-assess their own teaching strategies, developing a list of teaching strengths and interests. Describe the various
   electronic tools and options
•  Locate and use the right technology tools for their teaching style
