First Paragraph
In mid-June of 2010, a lengthy discussion on the effectiveness of online writing courses occurred on the WPA-L listserv. Lasting a week and dozens of postings, this discussion demonstrated the wide range of opinions and strong depth of feeling about online learning within the writing community. While OWLs (online writing labs) have been a presence for many years, online learning—and therefore online conferencing—in writing classes has not. Beth L. Hewett’s The Online Writing Conference: A Guide for Teachers and Tutors has joined this lively conversation at a critical moment. How does this book speak to the controversy? How does it speak to writing centers?
