I am fascinated by the use of computers in English/writing classes. I am slowly taking my writing classes to a 100% web-based strategy. All assignments, course descriptions, syllaweb, etc. online. All (or almost all) student work to be posted online. What kind of impact will this have on the way English, more specifically writing, is taught? Will it allow for more student choice? Will it allow more time for the teacher to act as a coach?
I am still in the groping phase of my research process. I am looking for good ideas to glue themselves to the amorphous mass that is my general idea. If anyone has any questions that might help me figure this out for myself, please feel free to ask.
And I thank you in advance. =0)

The thought of a paperless English class gives me tingles! Do you know anyone besides yourself who has done this? I'll look through my Research in the Teaching of English to see if there is anything in them you might use. Good luck!
Yes, I know several people who teach cyber-English. I plan on trying to use them as resources for this research. Although it will be iffy this time of year. Most of the people I know who do this are still in the middle of teaching and I would hate to make their lives harder as the end of the year heaves into sight.
Now, now, Art, treat your research with respect. There's no need for molestation! =)
