ILET Reading Groups are structured similarly. Below you will find further information on organization and management of these groups.

Access   The reading group will be accessible through a public web page that will be constructed to provide easy access to the web environments chosen by the reading group’s discussion leaders. All discussion and readings will be provided on the web in English, using an appropriate professional style.

Timing and location  The course will start October 1 - October 31. Students are expected to devote 2-4 hours per week to the course and to log on to the selected online environment at least 3 times per week. 

Participation expected   Although participants are encouraged to engage with the full range of readings and discussions over one month, it is acceptable to engage with one or more parts of the reading group. The discussion will be publicly accessible and relevant drop in contributions are welcome.

Accreditation   Students wishing to be accredited for graduate study through the reading group in ILET universities should contact their university’s ILET coordinator and/or negotiate with their major professor/research supervisor.

Coordination   Dr. Niki Davis is the leader of the reading group, supported by Yahong Xu and Rema Nilakanta at Iowa State Univeristy (ISU). Contact is preferred by email at ilet@iastate.edu. Dr. Davis’ office phone is (515) 294-5596, USA Central Standard Time. Please consult the web pages for the course and ILET projects before making contact.
