In response to the 2021 State of the Art of Online Writing Instruction survey and 2023 follow-up survey (available on the CCCC OWI page), attached you’ll find a pdf of follow-up focus groups facilitated by Jason Snart with project assistance from Jen Cunningham. 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.
