Resistance and Control: The Complex Process of Creating an OWL (1996)

First Paragraph

The Online Writing Lab should be considered a tool designed to assist students, especially non-traditional, commuting students. This was our Writing Lab’s argument for creating an OWL for Texas Woman’s University, which has a large number of these types of students as well as three campuses (Denton, Dallas, and Houston) and only one Writing Lab to support them. Unfortunately, instead of the support that I expected with this project, I was faced with resistance, which stemmed from control issues. However, control issues became dual as I discovered that not only did I face administrative control of policies, but I also had to relinguish full control of my text.
