Rather than this course design describing a student-facing course, the course design that follows describes GSOLE’s Basic Online Literacy Instruction (OLI) Certification courses for instructors within our discipline (our Basic OLI Certification) . Because the course is instructor-facing, and we recognize these instructors are our colleagues, we have chosen to use the word participant to name them (instead of calling them students, even those they hold the student role in the courses) .  \nCourse Description  \nGSOLE’s Basic OLI Certification is open to GSOLE members and is designed to help online literacy instructors, tutors, and writing program administrators learn foundational principles, theories, and practices of teaching and tutoring writing online and apply those to the contexts in which they work or anticipate working. The certification consists of two courses that span an academic year. Both courses guide participants, who come to the experience with various levels of online teaching and/or tutoring experience, toward meeting the pedagogical and curricular standards established by experts of online literacy education as articulated by GSOLE.  \nParticipants experience both courses within a learning pod, made up of one instructor-mentor and up to five participants. The first course introduces participants to online literacy education, to key concepts and theories (e.g., accessibility and inclusivity; asynchronous, synchronous, hybrid, online, and hyflex course design; and writing pedagogy) and to GSOLE’s Online Literacy Instruction (OLI) Principles and Tenets ([https://gsole.org/oliresources/olip](https://gsole.org/oliresources/olip)rinciples). As well, participants explore how the principles connect to the local contexts in which they work and the ways that digital technologies do and can affect writing pedagogies. The second course focuses on assignment and activity design for online writing instruction (OWI), whether that instruction takes place within a writing course, writing center, or writing-enriched course across  \nComposition Studies 49.3 (2021): 101-117  \ncampus. Participants also develop strategies for assessing online learning experiences and justifying pedagogical approaches using OLI and OWI research.  \nRather than participants working through a set of course objectives taken as a whole, this certification is designed around objective-specific modules. Each module includes the following:  \n1. Two to four essential readings with additional optional readings provided  \n2. A reading discussion prompt  \n3. An opportunity to engage in synchronous (e.g., video conferencing or phone) and/or asynchronous discussions within learning pods  \n4. The creation of an artifact chosen from a menu of options or created by the participants based on their professional goals and local context  \nEach artifact provides evidence of skills, experiences, and knowledge gleaned from that module. These artifacts are also placed in an ePortfolio along with a short personal reflection. At the end of the first course, participants draw upon their developing knowledge to produce a personal, evolving theory of OLI that communicates their OLI identity, approach to OLI, rationale for this approach, and examples from their practice. The theory of OLI should be informed by GSOLE’s Principles and Tenets and readings from the first course. At the end of the second course, participants refine their theory of OLI and add it to their ePortfolio.  \nDuring the two cou","cbCaikBstBZlatDL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikBstBZlatDL","pdf",151669,17,"English","# Course Design\n## Course Description\n## Context","[{\"question\":\"Who can participate in GSOLE’s Basic OLI Certification?\",\"answer\":\"The certification is open to GSOLE members and is designed for online literacy instructors, tutors, and writing program administrators.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the certification structured across the academic year?\",\"answer\":\"It consists of two courses spanning an academic year, guided toward meeting pedagogical and curricular standards through objective-specific modules.\"},{\"question\":\"What learning activities and outputs are required in each module?\",\"answer\":\"Each module includes essential readings, a discussion prompt, synchronous and/or asynchronous learning pod discussions, and creation of an artifact that contributes evidence to an ePortfolio with personal reflection.\"}]","Global Efforts to Professionalize Online Literacy Instructors: GSOLE’s Basic OLI Certification | PDF",1792088573,43]
