Anna Plemons on “Rhetorical Justice: (Re)Writing the Narrative of Imprisonment in an Era of Mass Incarceration,” Department of English Colloquia Series

Peter Remiem, “Oeconomy and Ecology in Early Modern England,” Department of English Colloquia Series

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.
