Interested in using digital writing platforms in your classes? Dr. David Squires will host the second workshop in the CDSC Spring Series Friday, February 12th from 3:30pm — 5pm in the CDSC (Holland Libraries, 4th Floor).
This ninety-minute workshop will introduce various platforms for digital writing assignments such as Blackboard Learn, Eli Review, popular blogging platforms, and an online annotation tool. As participants explore the technical possibilities of each digital writing tool, Dr. Squires will also discuss how to best incorporate each tool into course assignments already being used in classes. This workshop will help instructors streamline peer review, incorporate revision as an integral part of the writing process, and provide their students with a sense of public audience.
Space is limited; please reserve your spot here.

Please join me and my English 302 class as they present their final projects in a showcase-style event. Students in my section of 302 have been working on final projects in which they reimagine or respond to key issues in one of the three novels that we read this semester (Mrs. Dalloway, 1984, and An Artist of the Floating World) by creating a multimodal narrative tailored to a modern audience. In pairs or trios, the students have prepared interactive presentations in a diverse number of mediums that include everything from a multimodal timeline showing the progression of women’s fashion throughout the twentieth century to a digital recreation of the infamous Room 101 from Orwell’s 1984. As part of the presentation and professionalization requirements for this final project, the students are prepared to share their work with a wide audience of attendees who are interested in learning more about these texts and what they have to teach us in today’s world.
