ACADEMIC WRITING IN A DIGITAL SETTING

Abstract

Abstract. Online education of writing encompasses a variety of activities,
including email, websites, and synchronous and asynchronous conferencing.
Electronic mail can be used to convey student texts to the professor or peer readers,
host student journals, and sustain contact between lecturers and students as well as
among students on a course. Websites associated with writing centers provide 24/7
access to writing manuals, style manuals, training materials, and occasionally, writing
professionals' criticism. Conferencing systems, which let students submit their writings
publicly and have public discussions with other students and the course speaker, are
the most participatory kind of electronic communication.
