Teaching and Learning Literature with Technology: An Innovative Approach [Asynchronous]

The digital paradigm is changing the way how we transmit or create knowledge. That’s why at the UOC, an entirely virtual state university in Spain, it was necessary to reformulate and reorganize in a new way the relationship between sources, information or knowledge. Since the creation in 1996 we have developed a program in Catalan Studies with a large variety of courses in literature that were designed to meet different pedagogical and instructional goals depending of the course. At present, in our day-to-day work as virtual instructors, our teaching combines electronic materials, online resources, digital libraries, as well as a virtual workshop that is very well received by our students because it allows them to compare their exercises with those of their peers and to benefit from their feedback as well. The act of online learning using these digital resources means getting detached from acquired habits and it amounts to a transformation of communicative discourse techniques. This paper will discuss specific examples of how the communicative discourse techniques used in online literature classes differ from those in face-to-face classes.
