Faculty Center
Welcome to
the Faculty Center at the WWWriters' PLACE, a learning
portal and knowledge hub for
writers and teachers of writing.
Learning portals are Web sites that
provide a combination of courses, collaboration, and community. The WWWriters'
PLACE homepage is the entrance to this site with a menu of courses
and projects. In the Commons there are four centers for collaboration:
the Student Center, the College Center, the Business Center, and this Faculty
Center.
A knowledge hub is an online learning
community that offers discussion with peers, facilitated discussion, content,
and access to experts. The WWWriters; PLACE offers all of these
features. The Commons functions as the hub with its four centers for discussion
with peers as well as facilitated discussion. The content of the WWWriters'
PLACE is the writing process itself, non-linear or webbed (discovery,
planning, drafting, revising, and publishing), with emphasis on the dynamics
of purpose, language, audience, context, and
evidence
(PLACE). At the same time, writers working here have access to a
variety of experts: teachers, tutors, and authorities available on the
internet.
Teachers can use the WWWriters' PLACE as an online rhetoric by
building their course syllabus from the menu of WWWrtiers'
PLACE projects and linking their syllabus to the WWWriters'
PLACE. Current syllabi can be viewed for the courses
in the College Center this semester. We can also design customized assignments
for you and add them to our menu, and we can host your syllabus on our
server. For more information, please contact us by e-mail: <elizabeth.nist@anokaramsey.edu>.
