Curriculum Design and Implementation Curriculum Design ENGL 1311P
I drafted a redesign of the curriculum for English 1311 as a direct result of graduate coursework in curriculum design and then piloted that redesigned curriculum in the sections of English 1311 that I taught in the Fall 2007 semester.
The redesigned course: • Foregrounds the use of technology • Utilizes Rhetoric and Writing Studies disciplinary knowledge as the central
content of the course • Exposes students to, and expects them to compose in, a variety of genres
ENGL 1311R
As part of the English 1311 Redesign Team, I was responsible for the redesign of the English 1311 course. As part of my responsibilities, I participated in the designing of the course assignments and aligned them with the textbook adopted for the course. As a result of my own previous redesign of the course, I was able to actively contribute to the types of assignments included in the redesigned course as well as assist in defining the pacing of the course.
The redesigned course:
• Foregrounds the use of technology. • Exposes students to, and expects them to compose in, a variety of contexts. • Emphasizes civic engagement and involvement.
Curriculum Implementation ENGL 1311R
The course: • Encourages critical analysis and engagement across a variety of contexts • Foregrounds the use of technology. • Emphasizes student exposure to and composition in a variety of genres. • Is taught in a computer classroom and is paperless course in which all
assignments are submitted electronically. Duties:
• Utilize and test the e-‐book version of the newly adopted course textbook. • Provide feedback to Director of First Year Composition on the progress of the
redesigned course. • Act as team leader reporting experiences using the text to the textbook
publisher.
ENGL 1312R The course:
• Encourages critical analysis and engagement across a variety of contexts. • Foregrounds the use of technology. • Emphasizes student exposure to and composition in a variety of genres.
• Is delivered in a hybrid format with the face to face class day taking place in a computer classroom.
• Standardizes grading by having teaching assistants grade course assignments instead of the classroom instructor.
Duties: • Design hybrid day activities to supplement in-‐class instruction and guide
students through major course assignments • Meet regularly with the English 1312 Redesign team to discuss the
experience and challenges involved in teaching the piloted course. • Schedule and attend technology training sessions designed to expose
students to the various software programs utilized in the course. • Communicate with teaching assistants as they grade student work
ENGL 3355P Taught a piloted version of the Workplace Writing course (English 3355)
• The course is linked in a learning community with Business 3304 (Global Business Environment).
• There is a shared assignment between the two courses. • The course is taught in a computer classroom is technology-‐enhanced and
paperless in terms of graded assignments. • During the course of the pilot, I provided feedback on the progress of the
course to the Rhetoric and Writing Studies professor responsible for overseeing the pilot.
