Getting it Write: Peer Collaborations in Online Writing Courses
Peer collaboration in an online writing course presents many difficulties.
While teachers can adjust their style for online communication and
especially writing coaching quite successfully, our students tend to have
more of a struggle. Without the other person in the room with them,
many seem less committed and willing to help. This session will suggest
ways to encourage the highest levels of collaboration among even the
more resistant.

Reflecting on Reflections - The Central Role Reflection Plays in
Teaching Writing in a Computer Networked Environment
Reflection has long held a valued place for teachers of writing to help stu-
dents come to terms with their own learning. In a computer environment,
reflection takes on added dimensions because of the ease with which stu-
dents can share text and observe each others writings. While outlining the
special features of reflection in a computer environment, this paper will
focus on the practice and particular benefits of students sharing reflective
pieces with each other. http://www.accd.edu/sac/english/lirvin/lirvin.htm
