Social Class and the Environment Textbook
The project for this textbook began in the spring semester of 2020—pre-COVID19. Halfway through that spring semester, all at Middlebury College were sent home. The student-authors in the course opted to continue to work on the textbook. After the pre-COVID19 introduction to SCALAR, student-authors opted to continue with the project because the collaborative writing assignments, pages in SCALAR, could be done virtually by synthesizing synchronous and asynchronous activities, and ZOOM meetings, with each other and me.
The spring 2021 course picked-up where the spring 2020 course left off. This meant going back to the pages student-authors constructed, edit and revise, and create media where appropriate. “Lessons” and any additional pedagogical matter that involves writing on the part of the student user, I created.
