The "Other Collections" tab was added to give instructors and students links to resources they could explore on their own. Instructors should avoid assigning videos without captions or podcasts without transcripts. All texts assigned in a course should be accessible to all. If you have questions about this issue, please speak to your Disability Services staff on campus about options before you make a decision about using them.
Suggestions for using these collections. +
Instructors could ask students to select a few podcasts from This American Life that most interest them and analyze the use or placement of a controlling idea or the structure of a narrative.
After reviewing the rubric that Snap Judgment uses to help writers create work to submit for their site, students could try to put their work in that form for practice with various genres and audience/purposes.
Students could use the “Other Collections” tab to browse the collections if they didn’t immediately see a text in another tab they wanted to use for an assignment.
