For those interested in the Global Society for Online Literacy Educators (GSOLE), Mary Denora wants those interested in online literacy to know they are hosting
a webinar on April 25th, from 1-2 p.m. EST.
Leaders will share regarding the differences
between Online Literacy Instruction (OLI) and Online Writing Instruction (OWI). They ask, “How do affordances of digital composing, the World-Wide-Web, and contemporary distance learning tools impact literacy and writing instruction?” Specifically, they give
online instructors tools for developing a deeper understanding of online students’ literacy backgrounds and needs in local and global settings. They use the framework Contact, Convey, and Connect to take consider educational, cultural, and technological differences
of learners, building on the strengths of students’ linguistic, ethnic, and national backgrounds, while at the same time responding to literacy needs.
Leaders (if you have settled that): Sushil
Oswal and Rich Rice
