Description
This presentation discusses using OER texts and free annotation software in First Year Composition (FYC). To best demonstrate the potentialities of OER texts, the presentation will focus on Bad Ideas About Writing as a model text to be used in FYC. This collection of essays written by linguists, compositionists, and educational historians explores contradictory writing pedagogies used in composition classrooms. The text is set up as a discussion between peers, and thus can serve as a model of the collaborative and pluralistic nature of academia. The presentation will then move to demonstrate how pairing OER texts with free annotation software, such as Perusall or Kami, provides students with hands-on experience of academic practices such as discussion, annotation, and research thus facilitating knowledge transfer and habitus development.
