13. “Only Connect” modular curriculum using a blend of open texts and
texts available through the RCC library databases.
Texts organized in modules/units focused around a theme, such as
education, food, government, ethics.
Modules have been created for both ENG 101/103H (writing about
non-fiction) and ENG 102/104H (writing about imaginative texts).
panOpen allows students to annotate both privately and publicly.
Students can engage in conversations about the text in its margins.
