Abstract

Collaborative writing is a frequent and rhetorically complex activity common to most environments. However, educators know little about how to teach workplace activities such as collaboration, negotiation, and consultation in academic environments. This paper presents experiential learning as a pedagogical model, describes a program utilizing the model, and provides an example of a course promoting academic-workplace collaborations through genre-based writing assignments (e.g., marketing brochures, promotional materials, grants) and interactive activities (e.g., client interviews, user and task analyses, usability tests).
