Teaching Writing Online

Talking about technology, we just got an email from somebody in the administration who is worried that as more students begin to take online courses, we will not be able to teach them good writing. I find this very mystifying because the entire point of both of the online courses that I have developed so far is precisely to improve the students’ writing (both in English and in Spanish.) It seems that people don’t really know what online courses are like. Online teaching has numerous disadvantages but it is great for teaching writing skills.
