Abstract:
In 2019 our newly united online and onsite writing centers provided asynchronous feedback to our “adult and online” student population and appointments in our physical writing center to our traditional-aged, onsite students. The pandemic, increased online course offerings for onsite students, and my perspective coming from the online writing lab were three streams of influence that made us continue post-pandemic with a both/and/all menu of modalities that, I argue, best suits the needs of today’s students by substituting the Burkean parlor model of writing feedback for a model that is both of the moment and reflective of students’ lived reality: the family room.
