What is the Online Writing Environment?
The Online Writing Environment is an interactive, collaborative work space modeled after traditional peer-review processes. It is designed for short, informal, critical-thinking-through-writing assignments, geared toward improving students’ knowledge of a subject by making them think and write about the material more often. With this website, professors can engage students directly, embed formative assessment measures using department-specific rubrics, create peer-editing groups, and view reports of class progress.
