LA GRANDE, Ore. (EOU) – The colloquium at EOU this week features a panel of university faculty in education, English, writing, business and religious studies all sharing examples of how they have modified their pedagogy to serve online learners.

“Translation and Transformation of Writing Pedagogy: Moving From Face-to-Face to Online” begins at 4 p.m. Oct. 24 in Ackerman Hall, Room 201. It is free, open to the public and includes a reception with question and answer session.

Tawnya Lubbes, assistant professor of education and ESOL program team leader, Nancy Knowles, professor of English and writing and director of the Oregon Writing Project at EOU, and Stephen Clements, associate dean of EOU’s College of Business, will lead the discussion.

Joining them are guests Heidi Harris, associate professor at the University of Arkansas, and Jacob Harris, an instructor at Pulaski Academy in Little Rock.
