In _Literacy and Computers_, Christina Hass & Christine M. Neuwirth
claim that we are "written by the technologies we use, or more
accurately, those with the knowledge, power, and desire shape the
technologies that in turn shape us" (330). We believe that in order
for computer technology to be integrated into writing centers
productively, we, as writing center professionals, need to take
control of not only the design, but the definition of what a writing
center can and should be. This process of design and definition
should use technology rather than be used by it. We need to examine,
then, the possibilities that technology offers both to our students
as writers and to our concept of composing spaces.
This website is part of our project to explore the dynamics of a
multi-faceted student-centered writing space. It is a work-in-progress
and a representation of our own explorations, questions, debates, and
on-going concerns.
Enjoy and let us know what you think.
