Designing Web-Based Applications for 21st Century Writing
Classrooms brings together, for the first time, a group of scholars
and teachers who have been developing, on their own initiative,
web-based solutions to technical and professional writing
instructional problems. In industry the perennial question is
whether to buy or build, but in academia, for various reasons, buy
is rarely an option. Individual faculty members do not have the
money to pay for software solutions, and often their interests are
too local or small-scale to warrant institutional-level
involvement. In addition, the design of commercial applications
from vendors typically does not take into account the unique needs
and considerations of teachers of writing and often reflects a
design ideology quite different from theirs. This is why so many
writing teachers have turned to open source solutions and, in the
process of learning how to tweak them to make them more responsive
to their specific needs, why so many of these teachers have
developed programming and design skills. Beyond exigency, the
motivation for becoming proficient at interface and database design
comes from the observation that the nature of writing is changing
dramatically. Text is no longer an object. It has become a place of
interaction; consumers are becoming producers. And the work of
technical and professional communication, indeed the work of
writing teachers more generally, is becoming increasingly involved
in the design and implementation of places of interaction. Words
have become data; texts are becoming communities.
