Michigan State
University offering free non-credit writing course this summer
EAST LANSING, Mich.
-- The most common method for teaching writing skills has always featured
extensive face-to-face interaction, both with instructors and peers during the
writing and revision process. A pair of Michigan State University faculty
members are hoping to find out whether that process can be replicated in an
online setting while keeping high levels of engagement intact.
Dr. Jeff Grabill, professor and chair of the Michigan State
University Department of Writing, Rhetoric and American Culture, and Dr. Julie
Lindquist, Director of First-Year Writing at Michigan State, will teach,
‘Thinking Like a Writer,’ a free online non-credit course focused on helping a
wide variety of people improve writing skills.
The massive open online course (MOOC) is geared toward
students hoping to prepare for college-level writing, international students
looking to improve their English language writing, professionals who hope to
sharpen their writing abilities and any individual interested in learning more
about the craft of writing. The course, which runs from July 1 through Aug. 31,
will focus on the review and revision process -- the methods most likely to
lead to better writing. It will include interaction with instructors as well as
peers in the course to give each student in the class as significant feedback
on their strengths and weaknesses as writers.
In addition to interaction and engagement centered on the
revision process, the course will also help students with persuasive writing,
narrative writing, summarizing texts and organizing thoughts in the writing
process.
“We hope the course can answer the question, ‘Is it possible
to teach and learn writing online and at scale?,’” Grabill said. “Students in
the course will be improving their own writing skills, but they’ll also be helping
us create a new kind of experience for teaching writing to others.”
The course will be Michigan State University’s fourth MOOC
and the first MOOC in the Humanities. It was developed in partnership with
MSUglobal, an entrepreneurial unit in the Office of the Provost at Michigan
State that assists researchers in developing, finding funding for and
implementing academic ideas into practice.
Students interested in the course can register
online and watch a video
previewing the course. ‘Think Like a Writer’ also has Facebook
and Twitter
pages.
