One Writing Center’s First Steps onto the Web (2003)

First Paragraph

Developing a Web presence is one way to expand the services and resources provided by your writing center, while at the same time making them more widely available, particularly to users who may find face-to-face visits difficult or impossible to schedule. The development process,however, may be daunting because of limited resources and scant computer savvy. This is the story of two such administrators. As the title suggests, our story is not complete. We offer here an account of our initial steps onto the“Information Superhighway.” Our tale may be of some use because we learned to think small while constructing our online site, with a focus on meeting local needs and extending—rather than changing—our writing center’s pedagogy, based upon a theory of knowledge as contextual and socially constructed.
