“A Series of Unfortunate Contradictions–Or Is It: How Can Faculty Push for Advocacy to Create Meaningful Change?”
This presentation will discuss tensions involving a large-scale university-supported curriculum design project for online course development that ran counter to what we know are common practices in online writing instruction. In discussing how stakeholders involved were at odds with the goal of the project, we hope to generate discussion about how best to advocate for truly collaborative professional development and curriculum design opportunities in OWI and our institutions at large. Special consideration will be given to the tensions that can sometimes arise between the institution's need for efficiency and the well-researched practices of online writing/literacy instruction.
