VALUE rubrics are open educational resources (OER) that enable educators to assess students’ original work. AAC&U offers a proven methodology for applying the VALUE rubrics to evaluate student performance reliably and verifiably across 16 broad, cross-cutting learning outcomes.
Finding and selecting OER to adopt at your college can raise questions about both the quality and accessibility of the content for your students. Join us for this webinar to hear about best practices and rubrics developed to ensure that OER content meets instructional material standards, accessibility guidelines, and open licensing policies established at your institution. These rubrics assist faculty, librarians, instructional designers and other staff to select and adapt open educational resources that meet student needs regardless of disability but are also culturally relevant and engaging for students at your institution and can be freely re-used, re-mixed, and re-distributed.
Working with educators at all academic levels involved in WAC partnerships, the authors and editors of this collection demonstrate successful models of collaboration between schools and institutions so others can emulate and promote this type of collaboration. The chapters in this collection describe and reflect on collaborative partnerships among middle schools, high schools, colleges, and universities that are designed to prepare students for the kinds of work and civic engagement required to succeed in and contribute to society. The WAC partnerships celebrated in this collection include frameworks to build connectivity between institutions while addressing Common Core State Standards, academic and non-academic collaborations around science education, WAC partnerships in Argentina and Germany, and both long- and short-term collaborations.
In WAC and Second-Language Writers, the editors and contributors pursue the ambitious goal of including within WAC theory, research, and practice the differing perspectives, educational experiences, and voices of second-language writers. The chapters within this collection not only report new research but also share a wealth of pedagogical, curricular, and programmatic practices relevant to second-language writers. Representing a range of institutional perspectives—including those of students and faculty at public universities, community colleges, liberal arts colleges, and English-language schools—and a diverse set of geographical and cultural contexts, the editors and contributors report on work taking place in the United States, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Welcome to Austin Community College and Effective Learning Strategies, a course that provides the “college knowledge” you need to succeed. This course was compiled and edited by Heather Syrett with assistance from Laura Lucas from the Student Development Department at Austin Community College. It is maintained by Heather Syrett, Associate Professor and Assistant Department Chair of Student Development and General Studies at Austin Community College.
Contents
1. Connecting And Activating Prior Knowledge
2. Theoretical Conceptualisations of Wellbeing
3. Policy, Frameworks and Legislation Informing a Focus on Wellbeing
4. Contemporary Perspectives on the Impactors and Enablers to Wellbeing
5. Pragmatic Applications of Embedding an Education Wide Focus on Wellbeing
6. Ecological and Contextual Analysis of Wellbeing: in your context
7. Conclusion
For writing center and writing program scholars, administrators, and practitioners hungry for changing how we labor and how we teach writing, this book details several interventions, pedagogies, and programmatic approaches that place wellness, vulnerability, and anti-racist community care at the forefront of our work. For practitioners outside of the United States, I hope that this book generates meaningful conversations about wellness challenges and care opportunities and leads to interventions that are culturally-specific and site-specific. Of course, as I have detailed in my other work on wellness and labor, the pandemic has given new urgency to these conversations and has upped their stakes. This book, then, is an artifact of a pre-pandemic world. While subsequent revisions have woven in pandemic-specific reflections and information, we are still sorting through the wreckage of a harrowing year. In years to come, I hope that we will look back on this period of uncertainty and fear, and process how the pandemic reshaped us: our work, our tutoring and teaching practices, our attitudes about our institutions, our profession, our programmatic goals. I also hope we examine what the pandemic failed to reshape and the many aspects of the academy that the pandemic adversely shaped.

The NTCC Work4College (W4C) Program is a program that allows students the opportunity to EARN their degree at NTCC.
The PURPOSE of the NTCC Work4College Program is to help students earn their degree with two goals in mind:
1. To give every student the opportunity to attend college without acquiring debt.
2. To provide a hands-on learning experience in a meaningful work area allowing students to earn while they learn.
The MISSION of the NTCC Work4College Program is to instill each student with qualities they will rely on for the rest of their lives while also helping them to earn a debt free education. Those positive attributes include a strong work ethic, time management, fiscal responsibility, interpersonal skills, and knowledge of other things expected of them in the workplace. These are all a part of the student’s learning experience in the NTCC Work4College Program.
UPCOMING PLANNED CHANGES: Currently the program is offered during the summer on our campus. We have recently been offering the program to students on high school campuses who want to take dual credit classes. We plan on expanding this from two high school campuses to all campuses in our service delivery area (11). We also planning eventually offering this program in the fall and spring, instead of just in the summer.
DELIVERY FORMAT: The program is in-person only.
PROGRAM SCALE: Medium-scale (reaches between 10 and 25 percent of its target population)
APPROXIMATE PARTICIPANTS SERVED IN 2021-22: 324
HOW TO ENROLL: Participants must apply to enroll in this program

The editors and contributors to this collection explore what it means to adopt an "academic literacies" approach in policy and pedagogy. Transformative practice is illustrated through case studies and critical commentaries from teacher-researchers working in a range of higher education contexts—from undergraduate to postgraduate levels, across disciplines, and spanning geopolitical regions including Australia, Brazil, Canada, Cataluña, Finland, France, Ireland, Portugal, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Key questions addressed include: How can a wider range of semiotic resources and technologies fruitfully serve academic meaning and knowledge making? What kinds of writing spaces do we need and how can these be facilitated? How can theory and practice from "Academic Literacies" be used to open up debate about writing pedagogy at institutional and policy levels?
This resource offers student-focused tutorials that demonstrate how ChatGPT can augment the writing process for assignments commonly given in a rhetoric and composition course. These tutorials cover the evaluation essay, rhetorical analysis, Rogerian argument, annotated bibliography, and research essay—all while promoting the responsible and ethical use of AI in writing and research. With this comprehensive resource, instructors and students can not only build confidence in their understanding of generative AI within academia, but also build digital literacy that will serve them in the world beyond.
Author: Mary Landry
By the end of this tutorial, you will be able to utilize a specific formation of generative AI (GenAI)—the prominent Large Language Model (LLM) ChatGPT—as an aid within the annotated bibliography writing process to
explore, evaluate, and refine a research question
brainstorm and determine effective search components and keywords
decipher complex ideas within academic articles
Additionally, you will critically reflect on ChatGPT’s place within the citation practices of an annotated bibliography. Specifically, you will consider why and how ChatGPT should be cited according to both MLA and APA.
