Project Summary | Writing Place: A Scholarly Communication Open Textbook for Forestry and Land & Food Systems will draw on and adapt existing open educational resources, as well as create new content to support a common vision across course sections between two faculties. This Open Text will provide carefully scaffolded discipline-specific content, interactive multimedia, student writing examples, and engagement/extension activities relevant to the disciplines of Land & Food Systems and Forestry and the communities these disciplines have partnerships with. This text will equip students with the skills they need to meaningfully contribute to scholarly conversations in their disciplines, as well as support them in considering how these skills might be used to effectively communicate with Indigenous and settler communities beyond the university. |
