Hello OER'ers!
I am working with a rhet & comp faculty member who has been seeking an OER alternative to Pearson's "Pathways: Writing Scenarios" and
"Expressways: Writing Scenarios" with MyWritingLab -- as well as potential alternatives to NoRedInk, which has been buggy for his students -- for use in dev ed and adult basic education reading and writing courses, particularly for co-req courses in conjunction with credit-bearing English courses. This instructor is particularly interested in an online reading/writing lab alternative for his students for asynchronous use and writing practice.
I have collected many resources over the years on our library's
Writing OER Subject Guide, but of course, it's difficult to replicate the course platform experience of Pearson's MyWriting Lab and its asynchronous writing aids.
I have also recently come across Lumen's
English Composition I Corequisite course, and
Regent University's case study in creating their own alternative to Pearson's MyWriting Lab, a site/tool called
RUwrite. Has anyone had experience with these resources, or used or created other openly licensed or open access alternatives to MyWriting Lab, or even alternatives to NoRedInk? Is anyone using something that hasn't been shared in the "usual" OER places/repositories? I want to make sure I'm covering my bases!
Thanks in advance! And if I get responses off-thread, I will compile them and share back on the listserv.
Cheers,
Jennifer Snoek-Brown
