Hello, I wonder whether members of CASLL would be able to help me out with suggestions for a proposal I have to write in the next week. It's a proposal about how we can integrate technology into our Centre for Academic Writing. Primarily, I'm interested in ideas about computer-assisted writing support. We have a peer-tutoring program that is extremely popular with students, but up until now we have functioned without any kind of computer support for this service. Our tutors provide 50 minute individual consultations. As well, we offer a variety of in-class and out-of-class workshops for students and for faculty. We aren't interested in technology that will do away with people, but rather ways that we can enhance what we already do. In particular, we'd like to set something up for distance writing support (that is, for students off campus). I have no idea what if anything we will get from this proposal, but I want to "think big" for now. I'd love to know what CASLL members would ask for if you could have whatever you wanted for this kind of pedagogy. thank you! Philippa
