Units & Assignments Each textbook strategy receives one week of emphasis (14 weeks total). Time Management, Summarizing, Power Reading, Concept Mapping, Textual Annotation, Memorization, Test Preparation, and Text Evaluation (Bias and Intent, Logical Fallacies, Figurative Language, Credibility). Pilot OCR During Winter 2016 I served as the Pilot Online Course Representative (OCR), working together with the Course Lead (CL) and Course Developer to work out the bugs. The OCR also serves as a liaison between instructors and on-campus faculty, kind of like an official spokesperson. Technology ENG 107 features McGraw-Hill Connect, which allows students to review and annotate digital texts and submit essay quiz content. I also trained and implemented Brightspace (Ilearn 3.0), the learning system recently adopted by BYU-Idaho. |
