== '''English 202C Redesign Project''' == Stuart Selber has asked that Penn State’s composition program be brought into the 21st Century. There is currently very little technology being used beyond word processing and faculty would like the opportunity to use multimedia for composition—even moving entirely digital for an assignment. Most assignments are currently completed individually through approximately six papers per semester. Instructors would also like the possibility of incorporating team assignments into the process. This project will start with a focus on English 202C with the possibility to move to future projects for English 202A, B, D and English 15. The purpose of Education Technology Services’ (ETS) participation in this project is to help conceptualize what changes are possible and determine how to approach them. This will be achieved by providing technological expertise and aiding in instructor familiarization with multiple technologies and their various uses. ETS will also assist with obtaining the technology required for successful implementation of the pilot project. ===Team=== * Stuart Selber -- Faculty Lead (google: stuart.selber) * Brett Bixler -- Project Manager * Erin Long -- Lead Instructional Designer * Kim Winck -- Digital Commons - Multimedia Resources * Matt Weiss -- Graduate/Research Assistant (google: mjweiss321) ===Resources Provided by ETS include=== Consultation, Research, Recommendations, and Training Minimum of 120 hours of ETS staff time for: * Guidance on design and planning of project * Research * Training on use of technologies and necessary equipment * Development, implementation, & analysis of assessment ===Composition Faculty Expectations=== Faculty will: * Be available for meeting & consultations with the ETS project team throughout the project’s life cycle * Allow an ETS representative to observe class sessions and weekly planning meetings * Provide a GA to ETS for 2-3 hours per week * Provide lesson plans or other relevant course material to ETS * Participate in small-scale trials * Participate in the assessment of the project ===Project Deliverables=== * Student project/assignment guidelines * Samples of students work * Assessment procedures and rubrics * Outline for a Faculty Fellow experience for Summer 2009 semester * Presentation at TLT Symposium 2009/2010 * Faculty success story for TLT Symposium site and elsewhere * Podcast about project ===Timeline=== Overall Time Line: September 2-August 3, 2009 * Project Design: September 2, 2008-December 12, 2008 * Project Implementation: January 12, 2009-May 1, 2009 * Assessment & Analysis of Data: June 1, 2009 * Publishing of Deliverables: July 1-August 3, 2009 Total Time Frame: 11 months =='''Semester Wrap-Up'''== [http://www.personal.psu.edu/elc134/blogs/cramer/2008/12/fa08-summary---english-202c-pr.html] http://www.personal.psu.edu/elc134/blogs/cramer/2008/12/fa08-summary---english-202c-pr.html =='''Fall 2008 Meeting Notes'''== http://ets.tlt.psu.edu/wiki/English_202C/FA08Notes == '''Questions''' == '''This section is for anyone to post questions (and answers) as they come to mind.'''
