”) are notcapped by University requirements, most faculty teaching J-courses restrict enrollments to 20students. This is done primarily due to the heavy writing component and the need for facultyfeedback on students’ writing skills. Significant out-of-class time is devoted to each student inthe development of critical written communication skills. Further, while engineering studentsoften have developed sufficient technical writing skills by the Spring quarter of their Junior year,policy writing to targeted audiences is substantially different that writing laboratory or designproject reports. For this first class offering it is of interest to note that the class enrollment was 25students, with several additional students requesting

) has recently initiated a campus-wide approach to theteaching of writing with a special program specifically designed for teaching “writing inthe discipline” in order to provide students with the needed skills. The rationale behindthis initiative is that general composition courses cannot adequately prepare students fordiscipline-specific writing.Technical communications training has not been offered as a formal course at theUniversity of Houston for some time. In our Cullen College of Engineering it has beenmore or less up to the individual faculty members in their own courses to providetechnical communication instruction on a “need to know” basis. Laboratory coursesusually require written and sometimes oral reports. Typically the “design
traditional in-person instruction. This prompted the faculty to schedule a series offormal discussions throughout the fall term to allow a critical review of the model. Because thisreview of the model was precipitated by the unique environment in which educators foundthemselves, this paper is largely focused on teaching and learning outside of a physicalclassroom or laboratory. This new environment may be described as remote teaching, distanceeducation, virtual instruction, or online learning. As our faculty were new to any of thesemodalities, we used these terms interchangeably but soon learned that they are each unique. Toensure clear understanding, the terms remote, virtual, and online are defined for the purposes ofthis paper in Table 1. It

Who teaches RDM can vary just asmuch as the audience: librarians teaching alone or in teams, librarian and faculty combinations,librarian and IT professionals, and any combination of the above including guest speakers. Often,there is preparatory work that may include interviews, laboratory reviews, surveys or other toolsthat aid in getting informative information to facilitate the work toward RDM instruction. Inorder to illustrate the benefits of the team approach to RDM instruction and the trend towardcredit classes, Table 1 compares the course type, date, instructor method, preparatory work andthe
