Announcing New Serie Center Initiative - Write Well Microlectures
WRITE WELL is a collection of 60-second videotaped microlectures that provide supplementary instruction in college-level writing.  The videos, recorded by Macalester faculty members, address perennial writing topics in an engaging and incisive format familiar to contemporary students.

Write Well videos are available HERE.

Faculty members can show a video in class, link the URL of the videos into their course MOODLE sites, send individual students links via email, or direct students to the WRITE WELL websites. Interested in creating a WRITE WELL video to add to our collection? Contact Adrienne Christiansen (6714).
