7 Tips for Teaching Writing Virtually | Teaching College Writing
I’m teaching my first year writing courses in hybrid form this semester. Some of my students are in class in person, while others are on Zoom. Because of this teaching format, I’ve redesigned my composition classes to be more structured than usual. I want to make sure students can follow along, even if they are behind the black screen of Zoom.
If you’re teaching writing online or in hybrid classes, I’d love to hear your own tips in the comments below!
