Workshop: Like the Idea of Writing to Learn but Don’t Like the Idea of Grading Papers? Take These New Directions in Collaborative Writing

Abstract

Our workshop offers participants new directions for collaborative writing in courses across the curriculum, including practices that significantly reduce the grading workload. This session is for faculty and graduate instructors who 1) use team writing projects in their courses and capstone projects, 2) have used team writing projects in the past and would like to make them more effective, or 3) would take advantage of team writing projects if they had tools for designing effective assignments that reduce the paper workload.
