Transforming Student Publishing
Developing their own web publications offers students opportunities to polish and shape their writing for real audiences. When students move to publication, they learn to
- Consider other audiences;
- Polish and edit for publication;
- Engage in continuous revision;
- Consider the evolution of a document across time;
- Experiment with new forms (multimedia) building new kinds of literacies;
- Contribute in new ways to class;
- Build Academic Portfolios;
- Engage in Collaborative Projects;
- Build resources that can be used beyond the classroom;
Examples:
- Encourage collaboration by making meaningful links between published student responses - English 342: Science Fiction
- Projects adding to and becoming part of classes - ISB 202 Applications of Environmental and Organismal Biology (note: This is an old page, archived as an example. Not all links may be functional.)
