English Composition I is a course that combines high-quality Open Education Resources (OER) and innovative course design to promote active learning and successful community building. Central to the writing community is the use of collaborative writing spaces where students provide mutual support and engage in grammar reports, reflective assignments, and peer reviews. Innovations for English Composition I include: cross-referenced learning outcomes and topics for course alignment transparency; interactive grammar reports; a visual learning arc explaining course rationale and methods as well as explicit expectations for student success; guided, interactive pre-writing/note-taking; a virtual presence badge to indicate instructor availability for conferences/chats. All materials are ADA compliant. The presenter will discuss student success results with the new course design and provide a demo in Sakai CLE of key course components.

Textbook costs of English Composition I were reduced by 100%. 111 Students took the Kaleidoscope online course (fall 2011- Spring 2012); the cost savings were $8,325. Non-Kaleidoscope students (286 students) spent approximately $21,450. Students responded positively to the ways in which the embedded materials engaged their interests. Of the students completing Kaleidoscope surveys following the fall term 2011, 97% found the course materials to be of equal or higher quality than those used in their other courses.* *(see: Bliss, TJ, John Hilton III, David Wiley, Kim Thanos. The Cost and Quality of Online Open Textbooks: Perceptions of Community College Instructors and Students. Submitted for publication.) 2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 19
- 20. Learning Outcomes and Assessments The central goal of Composition I is to improve upon student reading and writing skills. So, one of the goals was to demonstrate a process to my students by which they may succeed. The weekly learning arc provides students with a rationale for the methods introduced in the course. 2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 20
- 21. Cross-Referenced Learning Outcomes and Topics 2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 21
- 22. Assessments Each week, students are required to achieve learning outcomes through the following outcome assessments: a series of reading quizzes, delivered in each module. Quizzes were intended to reinforce reading knowledge/ability as well as assess reading knowledge/ability discussions and writing assessments requiring careful textual analysis or peer editing discussions and writing exercises that require a response to and/or analysis of podcasts, screencasts, and/or web video discussion forums and w riting exercises geared toward attitudes about writing and self-reflection on essays writing exercises and essay drafts A series of grammar reports, which include error analyses, research on errors, and articulated remedies A series of secondary -response discussion assignments that require peer feedback on written content A series of essays, including narrative, descriptive, reflective, and analytical expression—essays from the course are included in a portfolio 2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 22
- 23. Learner Support In addition to linking to institutional support services (academic and technical) in my syllabus, I also developed the habit of linking to services in places throughout the course where such support might prove immediately helpful. 2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 23
- 24. One of the students who enrolled in my course had not just one, but two disabilities. She was legally blind as well as hard of hearing. In fact, she was referred to the online version of the course because it struck the institution’s administrators as more accessible than the on- ground version. Thus, our decision to make the course ADA compliant was immediately useful. 2012 Jasig Sakai Conference 24
