Abstract

Webinar leaders Sushil Oswal and Rich Rice will share differences between Online Literacy Instruction (OLI) and Online Writing Instruction (OWI). They ask, “How do affordances of digital composing, the World-Wide-Web, and contemporary distance learning tools impact literacy and writing instruction?” Specifically, they give online instructors tools for developing a deeper understanding of online students’ literacy backgrounds and needs in local and global settings. They use the framework Contact, Convey, and Connect to take consider educational, cultural, and technological differences of learners, building on the strengths of students’ linguistic, ethnic, and national backgrounds, while at the same time responding to literacy needs.
