Designing Web-Based Applications for 21st Century Writing Classrooms

Angela Petit Idaho State University

Abstract

This book is an edited collection is based on two assumptions. The first assumption serves as the editors’ opening sentence: “if you want something done right when it comes to information technology and writing instruction and research, you have to do it yourself." The second assumption also appears early in the Introduction when the editors describe “software” or, more broadly, any technology as a “web of interconnecting workflows that amount to a social and intellectual environment; a place that influences the creation and exchange of ideas.” The authors indicate the relatively high level of technical knowledge that writing instructors are expected to bring to the text, and they emphasize beliefs about technology that shape the way chapter authors integrate technology into the teaching of writing. For writing instructors who bring this technical expertise to the text and who share its assumption about technology and environment, this book is an important new resource. It provides an overview of web-based application design that is technologically sound and pedagogically cohesive.
