 Well, I was first involved in the Writing Fellows group in 2006-07, and this is a group that was put together by Carmen Werder, who is the Director of Writing Instruction Support here at Western. And this was a group of faculty from across campus who submitted proposals and were accepted into this group of fellows to discuss how we incorporate writing in the classroom. So these were faculty members from dance, education, physical education, and myself from art history and of course with our fearless leader, Carmen Werder, facilitating discussions about incorporating writing into the classroom. So the first year, 2006-07, was really focused on faculty discussing different ways of using writing. This year, 2007-08, the focus of the Writing Fellows has shifted to faculty-student collaboration in research and researching pedagogy, different expressly focusing again on incorporating writing into the classroom and developing the idea of Western as a community of writers. It's absolutely essential to bring in the student voice, and the impetus here is really coming from Carmen Werder, who's been working for many years here on campus in the Teaching Learning Academy and in other roles she's played on campus to put a spotlight on the student voice. This research project is focused on how to incorporate electronic media into the classroom to provide a space for low stakes writing for students and trying to figure out the best ways to incorporate this type of assignment, what works best for students, and not only am I working with a student to conduct the research, but the focus is on students' evaluations of these assignments and how they find that their assignments are helping them prepare for class, prepare for classroom discussion, prepare for exams, gather their thoughts using writing as a way of thinking.
