WAC on the Web: Writing Center Outreach to Teachers of Writing Intensive Courses (1998)

Keywords

handouts, website design, writing across the curriculum (WAC)

First Paragraph

A search with the Alta Vista online database for the keywords WAC and curriculum reveals that many writing centers and writing programs now use the World Wide Web to communicate with faculty involved in Writing Across the Curriculum (WAC) programs. Larry Beason of Eastern Washington State University also provides a web page with a long list of links to other universities’ WAC web pages (http://ewu66649.ewu.edu/WAC.html). These pages range from simple sites offering descriptions of programs and requirements to the impressive sites at Northern Illinois University and University of Kansas that offer faculty short essays on aspects of writing instruction, sample syllabuses, templates for assignments in various fields, information on grading and on using journals, and handouts for students, in addition to program information.
