The rhetoric of online conferencing.
Abstract
Despite the ubiquitous concern for improving student online communication and learning, many writing center scholars are unsure whether or not to foray into this often confusing world of pedagogical pros and cons. Some feel that issues of power and authority could get out of hand. But others feel that we have come a long way in cyber-talk, including the metacognitive aspects, and we can't pretend that online communication doesn't exist and is not important for our students and our better academic communication.
