Introduction
This collection of readings that emerged out of partnerships between OER enthusiasts, composition instructors at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and contributors who shared ideas and resources on a Twitter thread about open composition.
The English 100 (Introduction to College Composition) program hopes to pilot a version of this OER course reader with a subset of course sections in 2019.
This guide is currently in the open creation stage, meaning that it is in-progress, but openly licensed. In other words, this is a resource in flux: we will be adding to and reorganizing these materials over the course of the coming months.
Below is a list of the tasks left to complete.
- Crowdsource and compose original content
- Copy edit (in progress)
- Update links as appropriate
- Add additional screenshots and images
- Check for accessibility
- update alt-text
- Finish contacting each of the original authors to thank them for sharing their work with the world.
For questions, suggestions, or other comments, please feel free to contact Naomi Salmon at nsalmon [at] wisc [dot] edu.
