Digital Resources
The Writing Center's Digital Resources is a series that offers educational videos on academic writing to support teaching and tutoring tasks.
They provide a step-by-step description and offer tips for academic writing. From developing a research question, the 7-part series guides its audience through the entire writing process and includes tips for planning as well as managing writing projetcs. Each digital entry is accompanied by an individual study module for students. These include a series of tasks that guide students in applying the content and techniques explained in the input to their own writing practice of specific work.
Instructors and supervisors are invited to use the digital resource series and independent-study modules in their teaching and supervising process. The resources can be used as a source of inspiration or a template for designing their own discipline-specific material. Another option would be to integrate it directly into teaching or have it made available as supplemental content for moodle courses. We would be happy to advise you.
