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. |
