A Principled Look At Online Writing Instruction!

In a principle centered look at online writing instruction, Hewett and Ehmann prepare the way for the future. They do an outstanding job of defining online pedagogy, explaining this new interaction with the inherent challenges and potential benefits. I think it is a must read for any educator who has already implemented an online writing program or plans to start one. I found the theoretical aspect of the book intriging and loved all the specific examples they use to help the reader understand the actual online interaction and processes. I have not found any other book that comes close to this perspective; it's a real winner!
