Description

Scholarly academic research, which has traditionally repelled most audiences as exhaustively dry, difficult, and remote, is now transformed through multi-media web design. Since 2003, over 40 BSC’s advanced graduate students in Reading and Literacy have produced online theses that document their academic research and showcase all aspects of their scientific investigations in literacy teaching and learning. The resulting WebPages, which can be accessed by classroom teachers through the Internet, are powerful vehicles for bridging educational theories, classroom practices and technological application. The presenters will outline how faculty collaborate in supporting students in their research as well as their webpage design and production.
