Spotlight: A panel discussion with Connie Daniel (Business), David Smailes (Political Science), and Lynn Zayac (CIT), moderated by Catherine Savini (Writing Liaison Committee, English) According to a recent survey of full-time and adjunct faculty, many Westfield instructors worry that online courses risk alienating students from their instructors and peers. How then can instructors of online courses ensure that students are engaged? One way that instructors can connect with students in an online environment is to provide thoughtful feedback to student writing. Please join us for a panel discussion of strategies, both pedagogical and technological, for providing effective and efficient feedback to student writing. The panel will address the following questions: What challenges do instructors of online courses face when it comes to responding to student writing? What kinds of feedback can instructors provide to keep students engaged in the learning process? How can instructors provide effective feedback without increasing our workload? What technologies are available to help instructors provide effective and efficient feedback? Please come with your questions and your ideas!
