In this course we will explore the ways that writing can be taught online, while discovering what it means to use digital and networked tools to write and to learn. Whether you have been successfully teaching writing in face-to-face workshops and want to bring your curriculum and best practices online and/or you are curious to explore how online forums and tools can be used to support face-to-face teaching and workshop, this course is design to support that work. Participants will be encouraged to play with the ways that they teach and write in and across online networked spaces while learning from the teaching designs and practices of experienced networked educators and teachers of writing. We will explore the intersections of compositional theory, pedagogical practice in writing, and theories of connected learning and teaching while using both public and private writing spaces. All participants will be encouraged to provide peer feedback as learners and teachers throughout, to engage in social forums to explore what’s possible in writing and teaching today, and to design a project they can take forward in their teaching and writing beyond this course.
