Wrap-up (2/26-28):

 

 

The asynchronous portion of this year's C&WOnline conference (called "E-Forum" sessions) will be held at ComputersandWriting.org, the information portal for the computers and writing community established by the CCCC Committee on Computing and Composition (7C). If you do not already have an account with this site, one will be established for you when you register.

 

How does this conference Forum work?

Each E-Forum session will focus on a topic submitted as a proposal to the organizing committee. Discussion on this topic will occur asynchronously within the C&W.org site for five days on each topic (though the discussion may continue for more than five days).

 

To follow the discussion, and even enter into it, visit the C&W.org site regularly during the session time period. If you have posted a response, you will receive notification in your email of anyone who has responded to your post. Otherwise, you will have to go to the site to see recent posts on the session topic. Drupal, the open source software running the site, is a sophisticated content management system that operates like a collaborative blog (plus a lot more). It is the same open source software tool used by KairosNews.
