Electronic Communication Across the Curriculum

by Donna Reiss (Editor), Dickie Selfe (Editor), Art Young (Editor)

Essays explore what happens when proponents of writing across the curriculum use the latest computer-mediated tools and techniques, such as e-mail, asynchronous learning networks, MOOs, and the Web, to expand and enrich their teaching practices, especially the teaching of writing. Part I shows how electronic communication across the curriculum (ECAC) can influence entire academic programs, and Part II details a series of ECAC projects that reach across the borders of classrooms, disciplines, regions, and countries. Part III looks at ways in which teachers in diverse fields focus on individual and team- taught disciplinary projects. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
