OPEN QUESTION:Will the new view of collaboration and team

work serve to further learning autonomy? Or it will present an opportunity for weaker / less driven students to depend on the harder working ones?

Is Technology and the integration of it as good as it seems?

HIKE or HYPE? (Technology serves to hike academic standards or just a hype?)

CCCC’s position statement (2005) Computers can’t understand nuance

of language Computers can be “fooled”

Next Generation Requirements Automated Essay Grading – Questions

What do students think? Can it be used instructionally (and not

only for assessment)? Are the costs practical? What program is right?

Throughlines

What are the possibilities of this group?

What is technology best at? Can a machine teach writing?

Generative topics

What makes the best composition assignment?

Grammar remediation Marking a paper - what kinds of

comments facilitate learning?

Open Questions

Students board members – should they be freshmen, students who have completed the course recently, juniors/seniors?

Should administrators be included?
