OLOR Effective PracticesThe goal of OLOR Effective Practices is to publish relatively brief and practical pedagogical strategies. Busy online literacy teachers can read an OLOR EP publication and, within a few days, try out a strategy out for themselves.
The OLOR is organized to reflect the principles created by the NCTE Effective Practices in Online Writing Instruction committee. To learn more about these principles you can click here. To see listings of OLOR Effective Practices sorted according to the principles, go to the Browse OLOR Effective Practices page. |
