This is to announce a new interest group devoted to the study of computers
and writing, specifically writing instruction in computer-based classrooms.
We are interested in articles pertaining to, but not limited by, the
following topics:
Human/Factors research and writing environments
Text editor design
Natural Language adjuncts to writing instruction
Computers and the soft sciences
Psychological effects of computer writing/instruction
Composition theory applied to computer-based instruction
Anecdotal accounts of computer writing experiences
Using the NET in the classroom
Computer-based conferences
Public domain software for the classroom
Reviews of writing and editing packages
Conference announcements and proceedings
Telecommunications and its effects on language
Writing without paper
Computers and hearing impaired students
Computers and learning disabled students
Computers and basic writers
Computers and humanists
Computers and writing professionals
This will be a moderated newsgroup with issues released weekly. It will be
a forum for writing professionals (those who must use computers for their
writing) and computing professionals (those who design the hardware and
software that writers depend upon) to meet and discuss issues relevant to
both fields, but we welcome notes from novice computer writers. Notes and
requests to be included on a mailing list should be sent to
BITNET: compos01@ulkyvx.bitnet
ARPA: compos01%ulkyvx.bitnet@wiscvm.arpa
[Note: I'll be receiving a copy of this digest and forwarding all articles
of particular interest to Computers and Society Digest (and mod.comp-soc)
for those that don't want to read yet another digest! -- Dave]
