Today I am dedicating myself to finishing up my syllabus for ENGL210, Introduction to Creative Writing at the College of St. Catherine in Minneapolis. This will be the second time adjuncting at the Minneapolis campus and I am looking forward to it, although mastering all the details of a college system is really tedious and time-consuming. I hope to continue teaching at St. Kates so I don't lose my investment in this area! This is a 2 credit, 6 week course, and part of it is online.
I haven't fleshed out the online aspect yet, and am going to set up a Blackboard site for this class. I really enjoy the online aspects of curriculum development and tried to mimic a Blackboard site when teaching at Perpich, using a wikisite. It was a partial success, and helped me more than the students, in terms of keeping my documents organized. I think it was also helpful for parents who wanted to follow along with their student's assignments, although I wasn't always up to date on my uploads.
My new find is adjunctnation.com and I hope it will be a useful site...
