The Idea(s) of an Online Writing Center: In Search of a Conceptual Model

Abstract

Wislocki, the author of the review, made this pointed observation: "Just skimming through the CD, I was struck by the unusual mix of texts and seemingly incompatible viewpoints" (71). Later in her review she remarks that " [o]n the other hand, I find the lively hodgepodge of different points of view in The OWL Guide reassuring.... I believe that a multiplicity of voices and opinions-as well as expressions of frustration and enthusiasm-are the healthy sounds of an engaged community talking the emerging field of OWLs into existence" (74).
