OVERVIEW

More classes are being taught online, including writing.  As a result, teachers are looking for practical ways to teach writing in today’s ever-growing e-learning environment.  Some teachers have been teaching asynchronous courses that students complete according to a set schedule (using a learning management system such as Canvas or Moodle) for a little while, but now some of us are suddenly teaching synchronous classes that meet online at a set class time (using platforms such as Zoom).  In these online classes, how can we best teach writing?  In this webinar, we will confront some of the challenges in teaching writing online and look at some practical ways for teachers to help students improve their writing skills. 

This session will focus on the Academic Skills Segment for adult learners.
