The ACW Listserv

ACW is an acronym for the Alliance of Computers and Writing, an organization representing an association of teachers and researchers in public schools, community colleges, and four-year colleges and universities. This group is interested in using computer technologies and networks to improve their classroom writing instruction. The ACW was started in mid-1993 by Trent Batson, John O'Connor, and Fred Kemp, based on a collaborative model of interaction whereby individuals could share their experiences integrating technology into courses and curricula. Many teachers have exchanged syllabi, collaborated on joint projects in distance learning situations, set up panel sessions for academic conferences, co-authored articles, and discussed the pitfalls and rewards of teaching with computers.
