Steady encouragement
After each new topic is presented, students answer a few questions about the main ideas. This keeps students focused, actively processing the information, and constructing new knowledge.
Presentation and exploration
Each chapter offers concise presentation of key concepts. Exemplary readings and advice from established writers put the concepts into context and test the limits of the ideas presented.
Study questions
Questions throughout the text encourage close reading and guide students to key information.
Everything you need
The Writer’s Guide provides everything you need for an online course including the text, study questions, an analytics dashboard, and interactive thesis and outline builders. And we can tailor the webtext to match your program’s emphasis, term length, student expectations, and assigned essays.
Interactive content
Study questions
Short answer and multiple choice questions guide students to critical information by providing immediate feedback. These low-risk opportunities allow students to reset answers to try again or study for tests.
Guided prompts
A series of prompts lead students through assignments helping them to create a strong thesis statement and outline for their papers.
Response boards
Students engage each other through discussion boards that only allow students to see the responses of their peers after they’ve posted their own comment.
Polls
Polls allow students to share their opinions and then view a live pie chart displaying the responses of all class members.
Study tools
