Course Description

This course is made available through the eLearnAfrica and Edx partnership.

Language, and the ability to communicate effectively are critical skills in the global economy. Writing and composition are vital to communicating your ideas clearly.


This introductory writing course will help you develop and express ideas effectively for a variety of purposes, audiences and occasions.


During the course, you will complete several major written projects, along with a reflection for each project. For each project, you can decide what level of technology you wish to use.


If you wish to earn university credit for the course we will ask you to complete a portfolio in which you demonstrate what you have learned. Specifically, you will address what you have learned in the course and provide evidence that you have acquired the skills and knowledge taught during the course. This is a 3-credit hour course at Arizona State University (ENG 101 First-Year Composition). It is strongly encouraged that you consult with your institution of choice to determine how these credits will be applied to their degree requirements prior to transferring the credit.
