We’re continually assessing & improving the course Strong attention to accessibility On-staff course developer Developed with ITAP TLT group — and two of them teach it! Writing Lab assistance with conferencing and feedback
Based on face-to-face instruction and experience Same instructors, outcomes, textbooks, as face-to-face English 106 Three major assignments Extensive use of video helps students connect with instructors Piloting OER (open access) texts
Online 106 is not a good fit for all students Second language writer (better: 106–I) Dislike digital media or computing (better: SCLA 101) Issues with self-regulation, time management (better: mainstream 106)
Comparisons Course evaluations almost identical DFW rate 15% (6% for in-person)* GPA 3.2 (3.6 for in-person)* * Preliminary data, but these differences are lower than typical for online courses
