Abstract:

When you teach online technical writing courses (where the primary method of communication is e-mail and where class materials are mailable through various Internet facilities), you face a number of challenges. Teaching writing courses online can be time-consuming -- not what we want in such a labor-intensive field of instruction. This paper reviews a number of software tools that can reduce these problems and add advan-tages not normally available in the conventional face- to-face classroom. (Omitted here is discussion of common Internet tools such as lTP, telnet, vi and other such facilities.)
