Abstract
During this roundtable discussion, administrators and consultants from the University of Georgia (UGA) Writing Center will share their experiences using co-creative practices in online interactions with student writers and with graduate student writers especially. Our conversation will center on the way the in/dependent dichotomy is troubled not only by our students’ clearly-expressed agency in seeking support and building the scaffolding they need to achieve their writing goals, but also by our consultants’ engagement practices across a range of online interactions. Addressing one-with-one conference, workshop, and writing group experiences, roundtable participants will reflect on the successes and challenges of implementing techniques that distribute agency and share responsibility for the furtherance of a writing project. Discussants will reflect on their methods for leveraging strategies like scribing, dialogic brainstorming, or direct correction that transgress the purely non-directive mode of writing tutoring in favor of a flexible approach.
