SUMMARY:SIG at ECWCA 2019: Evolving Technologies in Online Writing Center Work
DESCRIPTION:Google Doc for recording session notes \nSession Information\nConference: East Central Writing Centers Association (ECWCA) Conference 2019 \nType of Session: Roundtable and Special Interest Group (SIG) \nInstitution: University of Dayton \nSession Title: Evolving Technologies in Online Writing Center Work \nFacilitator: Jenelle Dembsey \nDate: April 5\, 2019 from 2-3pm EST \nSession Description\nThe potential for online writing center work is directly affected by available and evolving technology platforms. At times\, technology can limit what is possible. In other cases\, technology can re-define online consultations entirely. For example\, collaborative technologies like Google Docs have introduced the revolutionary idea that students can be present for and active in asynchronous appointments (Moberg\, 2010; Schultz\, 2010)\, blurring the boundaries between asynchronous and synchronous consulting support. \nIn a recent IWCA survey\, respondents were interested in learning the pros and cons of different technological platforms used for online writing center work. As a response to this need\, this session will engage attendees in conversations regarding the successes and failures of asynchronous and synchronous technologies in their local contexts. This session focuses both as a roundtable for online consulting platforms and as a special interest group for online writing center work more broadly. In addition to discussion\, attendees will be briefly introduced to the Online Writing Centers Community and invited to participate in shaping future resources and support.

SUMMARY:Virtual Conversation Hour: Asynchronous Tutoring Strategies
DESCRIPTION:The Online Writing Center (OWC) Community invites you to join us for discussion during our first free Virtual Conversation Hour.  \n\nDate: Tuesday\, March 26\, from 1-2 pm EST\nTopic: asynchronous tutoring strategies \nRegistration: register online\n\nDuring this session\, we’ll discuss asynchronous tutoring strategies\, considering the following questions (or any other questions and ideas attendees bring!):  \n\nWhat strategies do you use for providing students feedback asynchronously? \nWhat technologies or tools do you find helpful or effective? \nWhat kind of training have you done? What kind of training do you need to do?\n\nWe welcome all participants\, whether you’re just beginning to think about asynchronous tutoring or have a lot of prior experience. Our goal is to bring together writing center tutors\, administrators\, faculty\, and staff to share their experiences\, ideas\, strategies\, and questions.  Through conversations like these\, we can connect our individual writing centers to build community.\n \nVirtual Conversation Hours will be held in Zoom; you will receive attendance information after registering.
