Please join The Technology Source's Alan McCord as he interviews Joel Foreman about COMPUTERIZING COLLEGE COMPOSITION.

Consider the plight of college composition teachers. Embedded in an educational system shaped by paper-based modes of production and the economics of collocation, they must expend significant amounts of mind-deadening instructional effort reading, commenting upon, and managing student documents.

The advent of Web-based learning technologies offers hope that this situation will change for the better one day. Course management systems such as WebCT and the specialized writing support systems Daedalus Online and ConnectWeb offer varying degrees of automated document management. Meanwhile, the practical applications of such researchers as Daniel Anderson and Fred Kemp are exploring the efficiencies that might be afforded by writing instruction cyber-environments (Foreman, 2000a, 2000b).
