After ENG 101 students have completed LOBO...

After your students have completed LOBO, you may schedule a class workshop (held in the library ITTC Labs or your computer classroom) tailored to the specific needs of your students. These workshops are reserved for students whose research requires skills not already addressed by LOBO.

Students get the most from these workshops when they are scheduled after their assignment had been fully explained and their topics are selected. Instructors are encouraged to participate in the workshop by asking questions, providing details about the assignment, and working one-on-one with students as needed.

Space is limited. For priority scheduling, request your workshop by the first week of the semester. Requests made later than the fourth week of the semester are often very difficult to schedule.

So that a new summer session of ENG 101 can begin.  If you want your answers from this semester, print them or email them to your instructor before May 15th. Posted by mjoaklea ( May 07 2006, 07:45:36 PM EDT ) Permalink Comments [0]

LOBO Redesign Coming

During Summer 2006, LOBO code will be redesigned.  If anyone has ideas for a new template, feel free to comment here.  Note:  LOBO content will not change substantially over the summer, but the new designs will support quicker adoption of ENG 101 instructor recommendations.

Welcome to the LOBO Blog!

The LOBO tutorial is used by ENG 101 students here at NCSU and also by college and high school students across the country.  Over 15 libraries have used LOBO code to create their own tutorials.  I plan to use this blog to describe the updates and changes to LOBO that are planned over the next year!   Posted by mjoaklea ( Apr 28 2006, 10:34:48 AM EDT ) Permalink Comments [0]
