Abstract Details

2015, Master of Arts in Rhetoric and Writing​, University of Findlay, English.
As online writing instruction (OWI) rises in prevalence at U.S. universities, the need for research into effective pedagogies increases. Using interview and observation data from first year composition instructors, this thesis argues instructors’ experiences with course management systems (CMS) and therefore the way they teach in those spaces are shaped by the limitations and constraints they perceive as existing in those spaces. While instructors recognize the potential significance of CMS, there is still great disparity between instructors’ practices in face to face and CMS spaces with many instructors failing to see their use of CMS as part of the teaching practice.
