I love a good practical-stuff-included book.

Hewett provides a lot of insight into the many considerations that go into online writing instruction (particularly the types of students one is typically teaching), as well as a lot of excellent strategies for scaffolding instruction in a way that serves learning, particularly in these specific contexts. While the types of assignments sometimes seemed a bit more prescriptive than I might use, I appreciated all of the examples she provided and could easily see how many could be adapted for use in face-to-face contexts, as well.

One of the best resources out there for those who are teaching online writing classes. The author offers both theory and practical suggestions, but she also explores why students struggle with online work in an age that boasts that taking online classes is the way to excel higher education.
