Like Driving a Car
Writing for an asynchronous format is like driving a car. The components skills are:
- Audience – You have to know who you’re writing for; who you may be joining you on this journey.
- Setting – You need to understand the modality, in this case it’s asynchronous; where you’re going.
- Knowledge Checks – There is no one at the front of the class checking in on students, so you need to include knowledge checks for students to review what they’ve learned thus far; similar to checking your route for upcoming turns or exits.
- References – It’s important to include and follow citations so your students have an example, but also for them to be able to review the sites and articles you visited to gather the information to learn more; reviewing your route before you leave.
