With generous support from an Illinois Community College Board Scaling and Assessing Developmental Education Reform Act Project grant, Lincoln Land Community College is pleased to host a two-day English Corequisite Institute open to faculty, academic support partners and instructional designers across Central Illinois. The institute's goal is to help individual faculty and institutional teams develop or revise their English corequisite curriculum to better meet the needs of post-pandemic, generative AI-era developing writers.
This two-day institute, happening on May 20 and 21, will be a combination of 60- to 75-minute focused talks punctuated by dedicated time for institutional teams and attendees to dive into their own curriculum and have meaningful discussions about course improvements.
