The CLA Writing Center invites you to join us for the second of this semester’s series of conversations about the teaching of writing. These conversations are open to faculty across the university who would like to develop more effective teaching strategies, both in teaching writing and using of writing as a pedagogical tool across the disciplines.
Spring Workshop #2: Showcasing Student Writing through the Portfolio Feature of Blackboard
Subject: This session will focus on making the most of the Blackboard portfolio to showcase student writing. Through this feature, students are able to collect their work for a single course.
