First Paragraph
Beth L. Hewett’s The Online Writing Conference addresses three under-represented yet significant areas of online writing instruction (OWI): the theory and practice of textual exchanges, the nature and substance of dialogic interactions, and the wisdom of depending on traditional face-to-face writing theories and pedagogies to drive the work of OWI. She pays close attention to tutoring approaches based on textual interactions with online learners, an often overlooked field of inquiry. The added relevance of these textual approaches is becoming obvious from the perspective of disability and accessibility in light of the emerging research in OWI.
