Writing Center Stories

Telling stories digitally
Writing Center Director Joe Essid describes the products of his first-year seminar, in which he tasked students with creating short, digital stories.
Wikis and Writing
"Days after final grades were posted, some of my English 103 students were still revising their documentaries on our class wiki. They taught me to appreciate the effects of the wider electronic audience available through wikis."
Writing a Winning Proposal
"The funding from an Arts & Sciences Undergraduate Research Fellowship gives a student the freedom to fully explore the thing they love, without having to worry about finding a summer job."
Second Life
Student in Joe Essid's English 103 class learn to write more clearly and analytically while using a virtual world as a touchstone to explore language, image and identity.
