How important is it for students to write effectively for both academic and public audiences? Have you asked your students to write for the general public or made the work of your students publicly available for others to read? Join us for a workshop where colleagues talk about their public writing assignments, assignment curation, and teaching experiences. We will address questions like the following: What makes for a good public writing assignment? What are the pedagogical gains and challenges of making student writing public? How do you curate the work online? What kind of support is available to help me write the assignments and curate the student work? In partnership with the Committee on Writing and Public Discourse, the Jacobson Center for Writing, Teaching and Learning, and the Learning, Research and Technology Team.
