for Outcomes-Based FYC Central Florida

Study Components

• Student-perception surveys
• Teacher & student interviews
• Portfolio assessment (not yet complete)

2
Instructors took two distinct approaches
to creating their hybrid courses.

#1 “I’m going to transfer my f2f
content into my M classes.”

“The techniques I use to [help
students learn the outcomes] are
being compromised online.”

#2 “I made a blog for blended;
I’ll use it for my f2f, too.”

“They are going to
beneﬁt from blogging in
the face-to-face class”

In Florida, students are
required to take at least one
online course before high-
school graduation.

Students bring familiarity
with online and in-class
learning, but have never
experienced a hybrid course.
≤1 online class
before graduation

How Students Choose

Access(Able): Envisioning Pedagogues as Student Advocates in Digital Spaces

Chris Friend

The curriculum we use at the University of Central Florida, Writing about Writing, can be intimidating to students because they are expected to read, understand, and enact difficult theoretical concepts in composition and writing studies. Rather than attempting to teach students “how to write,” our curriculum focuses on teaching students transferrable concepts about writing, so they can apply this knowledge outside of the composition classroom. Some of the criticism of this curriculum has centered around the idea that introducing students to theoretical writing concepts by having them read scholarship in the field of rhetoric and composition may be overly complex and may limit the engagement and understanding of first-year writing students. We suggest that incorporating students’ existing digital literacies into the composition classroom may increase the success of writing-concept transfer into students’ future writing situations.

I present experiences on the job market during the dissertation process. This presentation will focus on the hidden benefits of nontraditional, interdisciplinary degrees in a job market still largely defined by disciplinary divisions. I also address the hidden challenges of seeking employment at small, private, liberal-arts universities after working at and graduating from a large, research-driven public institution. This session will highlight the rhetorical shifts required when navigating between working in a large, nationally renowned composition program and interviewing with small English departments that may not (yet!) follow current trends in composition pedagogy. This speaker will address the effects of differing institutional perspectives, the importance of contextualizing one’s experience and strengths, and other insights from a recent successful job search.

This presentation expands directly upon Maurer’s “give voice to SoTL” charge by addressing how journals can be used to disseminate, popularize, and even shape the thinking within an interdisciplinary field of research. I will argue that journals have an obligation to give voice to the oppressed. And while we don’t often think of SoTL as being oppressed per se, I will show how scholarly advocacy—specifically in online, open-access venues—is vital to the growth and survival of the discipline. Issues of access, gatekeeping, advocacy, community-building, and scholarly rigor will be discussed, positioning SoTL as perfect material for online academic publication and open-access journals as the perfect means of preserving and developing the field.

This presentation uses a 2011 Florida law as a context for examining course modality as a contact zone. The law requires all high-school students to take at least one online course before graduation. The politically minded law ignores complex issues of access and ethics that become reified in our FYC courses. I will examine the “cultural and ideological characteristics” of this technological requirement to identify how writing instruction in various modalities can accommodate (or defend against) student expectations for online learning.

Typical composition courses have students create documents that are inherently print-centric, designed for the page regardless of whether that physical form is necessary or appropriate. Writing for electronic environments uses the hyperlink as an essential rhetorical element of communication, and traditional documents can easily be enhanced with hyperlinks using available, familiar tools. This presentation advocates for the incorporation of hyperlinks into composition assignments and instruction.

This presentation leverages the tension between genuine and artificial assessment and position first-year composition courses as an essential element in students’ transition from knowledge seekers to knowledge makers. FYC allows students to reform their relationship with information by introducing students to primary research and genuine inquiry based on authentic writing situations. A curriculum built around genuine inquiry naturally causes us to draw out the self-reliance, self-interest, and intellectual capital in our students.

Built Beyond the Walls: Bringing MOOC Strategies into the Composition Classroom

This presentation reviewed conversations and results from a curriculum-revision task force charged with re-imagining how discourse communities can feature in our first-year writing courses. The task force positioned discourse communities as the centerpiece of the class, but with multiple small assignments, rather than a single high-stakes writing task. I show how discourse communities can be presented in manageable segments to help students acquire a social view of writing. Presented material includes sample assignment sheets, an explanation of our assessment strategy, and critical reflection from a teacher who piloted this approach. I presented this talk at the Classroom Matters: Pedagogy in Practice and Philosophy conference at the University of Florida, February 2013. Text similar to the content presented with these slides can be found at this blog post: http://bit.ly/VDR3dY
