Hello, OWI Standing Group Members!
Our Officer roles have changed hands officially, so we’d like to welcome Kirsten Schwartz as our new Associate Chair and Jessie Borgman as our new At-Large Member. We look forward to having them in these leadership positions for the next two years. You can read more about them on the CCCC OWI Standing Group site.
Please continue to review the Current Working Groups spreadsheet and add your name to any group you’d like to join (or remove your name from any group if your interests have changed). If any group is no longer working, please let us know. Also, if you’d like to serve as the leader for a group needing one, add your name and let us know. [add Jessie’s email]
As a reminder, in response to the 2021 State of the Art of Online Writing Instruction survey and 2023 follow-up survey, you can also find follow-up focus groups facilitated by Jason Snart with project assistance from Jen Cunningham on the CCCC OWI page and on the OWI Standing Group site. This project consists of seven (7) focus groups with twenty-one (21) instructors who teach online and/or hybrid writing courses and indicated interest in focus group participation on the 2023 follow-up survey. The purpose of this project is to better understand current challenges and potential solutions related to online teaching by creating a space to discuss pedagogical affordances and constraints of online writing instruction with online and hybrid writing instructors from different institutions serving in a variety of roles with different positions and years of experience.
Please feel free to use the following transcripts for your own pedagogical or research purposes to further education and scholarship related to online and hybrid writing instruction. Note that all names are pseudonyms and identifying information (e.g., institutional names and references to states) has been removed.
Thanks to the outgoing officers, Allegra Smith (At-Large Member) and Jason Snart (Associate Chair), for their leadership over the past years.
Along with the other officers, I want to thank you for your ongoing support of the CCCC OWI Standing Group. If you have any questions or suggestions, please let us know.
We look forward to continued and new projects and to working with you during this academic year!
Happy OWI-ing!
Jen
