Integrating Writing Resources: An Instructor’s Influence on the Student Experience

Amy Rogers

In this poster session, the influence instructor communication has on student success is reinforced. Practical instructional strategies are shared from a recent study in which instructors connect graduate students in the online classroom with institutional supports, in this case, the writing center’s tutoring service known as Paper Review.

Preliminary results are shared, revealing effective communication strategies that foster a culture for learning and an inclusive learning culture that participants may find applicable to their own instructional practice. Connections may be made between the writing support featured in this study with participants’ own resources, emphasizing the value of generating learning across departments.
