Supporting Remote Writing & Research Instruction with WI+RE Tutorials

Session Description

Join the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and members of the UCLA Library’s Writing Instruction & Research Education team (WI+RE) to explore digital strategies for supporting remote research and writing instruction. Reflect on common and hidden challenges that student researchers and writers face--and learn how to use WI+RE tutorials to help your students brainstorm and narrow paper topics, identify and cite sources, and craft compelling arguments. To make the most of this hands-on session, we encourage participants to explore the Tutorials page of the WI+RE website in advance to learn more about how WI+RE helps demystify the research and writing process for students.

Session facilitated by: Beth Goodhue (CAT) and Salma Abumeeiz, Christopher Lopez, Kian Ravaei, and Renee Romero, and Hannah Sutherland (Library)
