Composing the Classroom, Constructing Hybridity: Writing Technology in(to) Course Design
Explored differences in teaching practices, student learning, and the co-creation of the environment of interaction when composition courses transition from face-to-face delivery to a blended format. Using Composition I (enc 1101) courses taught at ucf as the initial investigation site, this project explored how students, instructors, and institutions defined and created hybrid writing classes. The research examined differences in course design, teacher pedagogy, institutional training, and student perception and performance. Qualitative data from class observations and interviews with a variety of stakeholders combined with student perception and performance assessment to form a detailed picture of how we understand blended composition courses, how teachers adapt fyc courses to different delivery modes, and how students perform in those environments.
