Using Writing To Learn In Any Class
January 31st 8:00am - February 4th 11:59pm
Writing to Learn (WTL) activities typically include quick, informal, low-stakes writing tasks in which students consolidate their learning of a course’s content. Adding WTL activities to a class can improve student learning and writing, enrich class discussion, and allow faculty to quickly assess even large classes’ understanding of core concepts. Come to this workshop to learn five effective WTL activities all instructors can apply in their classes.

The 2015 NSSE (National Survey of Student Engagement) indicated that students learned more from writing assignments when they received written or spoken feedback during the writing process. This workshop will introduce faculty to strategies for focusing and improving student peer reviews, which will add more quality feedback to your students’ writing processes. Students receive feedback on their writing before sending it to you, yielding higher quality papers and decreasing grading time. This workshop consists of an asynchronous lecture, online resources, and a Q & A Discussion Board. All participants will receive feedback on their new peer review sheets.
Designing Effective Writing Prompts for Any Class
February 28th 8:00am - March 3rd 11:59pm

Thoughtfully designed writing prompts can yield more focused, confident writing, which in turn can reduce grading time. After introducing some best practices in prompt writing, this workshop will guide faculty as they design a prompt for one assignment. This workshop consists of an asynchronous lecture, online resources, and a Q & A Discussion Board. All participants will receive feedback on their new prompts.
