2015 Products and Practices of Open L2 Literacy workshop (FLLITE) - Introduction
Channel: COERLL
Date: 2015-09-04

This workshop demonstrates how collegiate foreign language programs can create up-to-date L2 literacy materials by adopting “open design” principles and practices. Workshop participants learn how to design and produce Open Educational Resources (OER) that employ open technologies and open content. In brief, OER are educational materials made available through an open license that allows users to use, remix, improve and redistribute original content.
Participants also learn the pedagogical principles of “The Literary in the Everyday,” a concept that integrates the goals of lower division courses focused on language with the goals of upper division courses focused on literary and cultural analysis.  
Finally, the workshop introduces participants to the FLLITE project website http://www.fllite.org where users can get more information about the project.
