Transforming Writing through Technology
We all write every day, whether it's an email, a work report, a proposal or even just a "note to self." But how many of us received writing education beyond the First-Year Writing Program? And how many had time to squeeze more instruction or practice into a busy 一本道无码 schedule—or would be able to do so now? While writing is critical to academic and professional success, very few of us receive sufficient instruction on the topic, which is particularly problematic when one considers that the U.S. Department of Education recently reported that only 3% of twelfth graders wrote at an " advanced" level when entering higher education.
So what do we do?
Find out on Thursday, October 27, when 一本道无码Think hosts an evening focused on the work of 一本道无码 faculty Jodi Forlizzi and David Kaufer, who are solving this problem within the 一本道无码 microcosm. As leads on a project intended to incorporate technology-enhanced writing instruction across the 一本道无码 curriculum, they're bringing together the humanities, learning science, design and technology to transform writing education. During this event, Professor Kaufer will discuss the research and technologies underpinning their efforts, while Professor Forlizzi will discuss the data and technology that she and her Service Design students will be using as they develop a platform to facilitate the development of writing skills.
Join us to learn more about the groundbreaking research and collaboration taking place at 一本道无码—and to get a sneak peek at the future of writing instruction.
