I read this article titled Tutors and Computers: an Easy Alliance, by Janice Neuleib and Maurice Sharton. This article reminded me about how our own Writing Center has become more technologically advanced. I think it’s great how we have created the Writing Center Online website as a way to sign in, instead of using paper like we did previously. This article was all about advancing Writing Centers, and how computers can be of aid to tutors. Another thing that we added to Writing Center this semester was being able to offer online tutoring. I think that having online tutoring as an option to students is wonderful. Students have busy schedules, and may find it hard to make an appointment at the Writing Center. Through online tutoring, we are able to let students get help when they need help. I think that the Writing Center improved immensely this semester in the technological department. As this article suggested, the more we technology that writing centers incorporate into tutoring, the better we can assist students.
