This is a home page for links to all course schedules, information and resources for the English courses I teach at Capilano University (Vancouver, BC, Canada)
Wikipedia: Keywords, Conversations, Controversies | What is Wikipedia? This page explores some of the more complex and comprehensive conversations surrounding the place of Wikipedia in the academic world.
How to Write a Paper | Writing a summary? Doing a film analysis? This page helps get you oriented on the kind of paper you are writing.
Tutorials | Getting started on a project? Using an educational technology or app for the first time? This is the place for you. Here you can find instructional “how to” lessons about how to register for Moodle, how to post on our course blog or wiki, how to do a multimodal presentation for class, or how to Tweet. You can also browse other useful resources on accessing the technology needed to participate productively in our course.
The Write Meme | “Memes about #writing, #reading and #everything in between. We seek out collective internet wisdom about academic life, research, argument and critical thinking. We snap pics of digital writing; handwriting; cool fonts and typography; street writing; writing in stalls; protest writing; doodles in class notebooks; writing errors; writing in unexpected places.”
CultureNet – “a two-year multidisciplinary program designed for students interested in examining contemporary culture with a focus on how people interact with technology.”
The Parallax (Faculty Advisor: Brian Ganter) – a student-edited journal of cinema critique, no longer actively publishing. Browse the first issue of The Parallax here.
