The Canadian Caucus of CCCC invites contributions to a roundtable on teaching writing online: "Value Added: Real or Imagined? Analyzing how going On-line Contributes to Teaching Students to Write" As universities rush to embrace perceived wealth from the internet, composition instructors are faced with the challenge of using the technology without compromising pedagogical values. The purpose of this roundtable is to examine some of the ways on-line instruction can enhance or change the way we teach writing. "On-line" should be interpreted widely to include to include elements ranging from distance education to adjuncts to classroom teaching. While people may discuss particular online strategies, they should place them in a context in which they can analyze what the strategy contributes to forming student writers. The roundtable invites presentations that examine this issue from the widest possible range of perspectives, with attention to analyzing what makes various forms of online instruction work (or not). The goal of a "roundtable" presentation is that is would allow for a variety of perspectives, and for significant audience interaction. Presentations, therefore, should be short, provocative, and even interactive. Please send one page proposals for short presentations (approximately 8 minutes each) by e-mail to Janice Freeman <[log in to unmask]> and Robert Irish <[log in to unmask]> by absolutely no later than April 21st 1999. Please note in the proposal whether you will need technology more advanced than an overhead. We will notify presenters as quickly as possible after that deadline.
