Active Learning for an Online Composition Classroom: Blogging as an Enhancement of Online Curriculum
Pilkington, Olga A. – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 2018
Active learning and online education have become important aspects of knowledge delivery.

Gelmez, Koray; Bagli, Humanur – Design and Technology Education, 2015
Reflective writing is an efficient way of getting feedback from students. Paper-based or web-based course evaluation questionnaires alone may lack of collecting specific and detailed information, especially for the fields like design education. This study focuses on reflections captured from students via two different media--personal magazine and…

A college education is expected to improve students' critical thinking skills.

In this article, creative hands-on activities, which are common in engineering courses, are shown to improve students' critical thinking…

Our service learning research includes assessment of reflective assignments done by students who apply theoretical knowledge in practical, real-life contexts by working with actual clients.

Private Journals versus Public Blogs: The Impact of Peer Readership on Low-Stakes Reflective Writing
Foster, Drew – Teaching Sociology, 2015
This article isolates and observes the impact of peer readership on low-stakes reflective writing assignments in two large Introduction to Sociology classes.

Chang, Heejin; Windeatt, Scott – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2016
There is much evidence to support the occurrence of learning in connection with collaboration, both in face-to-face and online teaching situations, but much less research on how such collaboration develops over the duration of a course. Using Dillenbourg's concepts of "situation," "interactions," "mechanisms," and…

In her recent "Teaching English in the Two-Year College" ("TETYC") article, Denise Marchionda argues for a grading system in her first-year writing course that turns over responsibility to students for earning grades. The approach, which she calls "the point-by-point grading system," is a variation on a contract grading approach in which each…

McKnight, Heal – Teaching English in the Two-Year College, 2010
Almost all of the author's community college students feel self-conscious about their vocabulary.

This article discusses how the…

Baxter, Scott J. – English Teaching Forum, 2009
In this article, the author describes some of the ways that journals can be used as teaching tools in the language classroom; in fact, the suggestions he makes could be applied to the use of journals in teaching just about any subject. He begins by describing the concept of writing to learn, which is the theoretical foundation that journals are…

"Frequently accepted as being the last language skill to be acquired for native speakers of the language as well as for foreign/second language learners" (Hamp-Lyons and Heasly, 2006: 2), English writing, for a number of EFL learners, appears to be challenging. This paper sought to investigate if learners can grow out of the writing…
