Dr. Y'Shanda Rivera

An ad promoting GSOLE to k-12 educators. The mission of the Global Society of Online Literacy Educators (GSOLE) is to connect those who teach reading, alphabetic writing, and multimodal composition as digital literacies in online education settings. As we work toward our mission, GSOLE strives to create more opportunities for collaboration between higher education and K-12 education affiliates to improve and support online literacy instruction (OLI) on a global scale. If you have strong connections with K-12 educators interested in or currently utilizing digital literacy in the classroom, we encourage you to share information about GSOLE as we continue our collective effort toward supporting OLI globally.
