Taking a Class I Teach

I enrolled in a MOOC (massive open online course) via Coursera. It's English Composition I, which is a class I usually teach. I plan to do all the work, but the reason I signed up is to get a better idea of how a composition class could be taught online. Here's the Coursera link - https://www.coursera.org/#course/composition

Here's a video preview of the course - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ppE4ntBbKHs (also embedded below). It seems I share some of the same views as the instructor.

I'm kind of excited.

Now for a little background: I had signed up for another Coursera course, called Fundamentals of Teaching Online, but I've since unenrolled because I found some bad reviews online that turned me off. The course also had a start date of "to be determined" so I moved on. Now, I'm ready to see what all this MOOC stuff is about.

  1. This is a very insightful post on how the rules of engagement can shape more effective teaching strategies. Understanding how students interact, respond, and participate can significantly improve learning outcomes. For those tackling complex academic projects, such as doctoral research, applying these principles can also guide the structure and clarity of your work. If you’re struggling with organizing your ideas or presenting your research effectively, seeking help writing PhD thesis can provide expert guidance. It ensures that your thesis is well-structured, coherent, and aligns with academic standards while allowing you to focus on the quality of your research.
