ten grrl
Hi Folks,
I’m pleased to share the news that a new book has been added to the WAC Clearinghouse (https://wacclearinghouse.org). This book appears in the Practices & Possibilities book series, which I edit with Aimee McClure, Aleashia Walton, and Jagadish Paudel.
The
Community of Inquiry Framework in Writing Studies: Designing for Learning with Peer Review
By Jennifer M. Cunningham, Mary K. Stewart, Natalie Stillman-Webb, and Lyra Hilliard
Applying the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework--a social constructivist model of online learning comprised of cognitive presence, social presence, and teaching presence--to writing studies, this book investigates peer review in hybrid and online first-year writing courses. The authors draw on both theory and disciplinary practices to analyze multi-institutional case studies, interviews, and artifacts, offering scholarship that is both data-driven and pedagogically pragmatic. The results of their analysis present a pragmatic and pedagogically sound approach to navigating the complicated task of designing and facilitating courses that incorporate collaborative activities such as peer review.
You can find the book at https://wacclearinghouse.org/books/practice/coi/. This book, like other books published by the Clearinghouse, will be available in a print edition from University Press of Colorado in the coming months. Thanks to Jennifer, Mary, Natalie, and Lyra for their work on the book and for their decision to share it with us as an open-access publication. Thanks as well to the anonymous peer reviewers who contributed to its development.
All the best,
Mike
