Course Author/Instructor

• Apr 2011 - Dec 2013

English Composition I is a course that combines high-quality Open Education Resources (OER) and innovative course design to promote active learning and successful community building. Central to the writing community is the use of collaborative writing spaces where students provide mutual support and engage in grammar reports, reflective assignments, and peer reviews. Innovations for English Composition I include: cross-referenced learning outcomes and topics for course alignment transparency; interactive grammar reports; a visual learning arc explaining course rationale and methods as well as explicit expectations for student success; guided, interactive pre-writing/note-taking; a virtual presence badge to indicate instructor availability for conferences/chats. All materials are ADA compliant. Daryl O'Hare served as a faculty course developer for Chadron State College with the Kaleidoscope Project, a Next Generation Learning Challenge Wave I grant recipient, whose focus is to develop general education courses collaboratively with other higher education institutions using Open Education Resources (OER) and serving at-risk student populations. In 2012, Composition I won the International Teaching with Sakai Innovation Award for the Higher Education, Fully Online Category. The course has been offered in a variety of institutions nationally and has been used as a MOOC with the Canvas Network via Lumen Learning.
