Special Instructions to the Course Writer

  • This course has a lot of skipping around in the text. As part of the introduction to the students, we need to point this out and explain why.
  • Throughout the course, build in online interactivity for ESL users and career-specific examples.
    For the ESL issue, the Instructor Manual of Writer’s World provides numerous tips for ESL students, also the ESL Workbook provides exercises and explanations that can be useful. Can place an “ESL” button throughout the course when there is some ESL-relevant information to add. The 1st ESL tip can explain the use of the buttons as well as provide a link or reference to additional resources and exercises.

For the career-specific examples, can handle it in 2 ways:

1)Like the ESL buttons described above, can have some interactivity associated with “career applications.” Can have a button for each of the top 5 careers with examples, etc., or can have a “career application” button, and once you click on that, can see info for several different careers.

2)Can have a variety of activity options based on the career track. Instructor can direct students to choose the one that aligns with their career.

  • Reference the “Visualizing Writing” CD ROM for ideas on content presentation. Most topics of the Writer’s World book are included in this CD ROM, and it may give the Course Writer ideas on interactivity design like rollovers, animated examples, etc.
  • All PH Words references are taken from specific courses established by our SME. When referencing the PH Words activities, use the following for access:
