Expansion of the Online Composition Hub

This is what a session with The Online
Composition Hub looks like.
Good News from Armando: The Division of Continuing Education in cooperation with the campus Program in Writing and Rhetoric have funded an expansion of the campus writing center to have an online component. Originally designed to support our online courses, the Hub is open to all Continuing Education students. The staff there are also available as a resource for instructors.

Alaina Feltenberger of the Hub is very interested in talking about the design of written assignments and anticipating the struggles students might have with written assignments. She can even come to visit classes to give a "guest speaker" type pitch to your students about the Online Comp Hub. She can also create a course-specific screencast video (referencing your assignments) that you can embed in your D2L site. Basically, Alaina is happy to help and troubleshoot with you about your assignments. Because the service can also help students with non-traditional "writing" assignments, like designing PowerPoints or other visual assignments, she especially encourages instructors across a range of subject areas to consider how the Online Comp Hub could aid their students.
