Campus Writing Program

The CITL's instructional consultant specializing in writing, Layli Miron, Ph.D., is here to help any IUB instructor who asks their students to write or is interested in doing so. Contact her at lamiro@iu.edu or 812-855-7289 to get started.

Read on to learn more about consultations, programs, grants, guidance, and partners.

In a consultation, we can discuss why and how to...

  • Craft meaningful and transparent writing assignments 
  • Build the writing process into courses 
  • Consider the role of generative AI
  • Work effectively with international and multilingual writers 
  • Grade fairly and efficiently 
  • Use rubrics effectively 
  • Train AIs, GAs, and UTAs to grade and respond to writing 
  • Comment productively on student papers 
  • Integrate brief writing assignments into courses 
  • Use visual texts as writing prompts 
  • Integrate peer review successfully into courses 
  • Effectively propose and teach Intensive Writing (IW) courses
  • Anything else related to teaching with writing

If you have a teaching question unrelated to writing, please reach out to the CITL.

To support you with teaching writing, we offer one-time workshops as well as more sustained communities of practice.

We offer grants to faculty members who would like to deepen their students' learning through writing activities or assignments. Each grant awardee will receive $1,500 to support two weeks of full-time course design over summer term, as well as intensive support from the instructional consultant. Applications are typically due in February. For more information, please visit Summer Writing-Teaching Grants.
