About this event
On Wednesday, March 29th UConn Early College Experience and the Faculty from English invite all certified UConn ECE English Instructors to participate in a professional development workshop opportunity.
This spring, we’re introducing a new all-virtual workshop series where we tackle specific classroom topics together. The second workshop will cover visual rhetoric in the ENGL 1007 classroom. We’ll do this through the lens of infographics, which can be a powerful tool for remediating one’s original written work, can be used to interpret data or other textual information, or can stand on their own as a way to present information to the audience in an engaging way. Visual design is a broad topic, and infographics can include anything from maps and graphs, to illustrated recipes, to collages! We’ll discuss these diverse examples and what tools/platforms can be used to design infographics, the affordances and limitations of visual genres, and what it means to do visual in the composition classroom.
Participation in either a virtual or in person event will satisfy ECE workshop participation requirements.

About the organizer
UConn Early College Experience (ECE) is a concurrent enrollment program that allows motivated high school students to take UConn courses at their high schools for both high school and college credit. Every course taken through UConn ECE is equivalent to the same course at the University of Connecticut. Students benefit by taking college courses in a setting that is both familiar and conducive to learning.
High school instructors who have been certified through the University of Connecticut teach UConn ECE courses.
Established in 1955, UConn Early College Experience is the nation's longest running concurrent enrollment program and is nationally accredited by The National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships (NACEP).
