Resistance and Control: The Complex Process of Creating an OWL (1996)
The Online Writing Lab should be considered a tool designed to assist students, especially non-traditional, commuting students. This was our Writing Lab's argument for creating an OWL for Texas Woman's University, which has a large number of these types of students as well as three campuses (Denton, Dallas, and Houston) and only one Writing Lab to support them.
First Paragraph
The Online Writing Lab should be considered a tool designed to assist students, especially non-traditional, commuting students. This was our Writing Lab’s argument for creating an OWL for Texas Woman’s University, which has a large number of these types of students as well as three campuses (Denton, Dallas, and Houston) and only one Writing Lab to support them. Unfortunately, instead of the support that I expected with this project, I was faced with resistance, which stemmed from control issues. However, control issues became dual as I discovered that not only did I face administrative control of policies, but I also had to relinguish full control of my text.
