Week 4: Additional Sources

My Research question:  What are some effective teaching strategies that online writing instructors use to produce good writing by their students?

Source	Why Used?
Rovai, A. P., & Wighting, M. J. (2005). Feelings of alienation and community among higher education students in a virtual classroom. The Internet and Higher Education, 97-110.	I am not sure if I will use this source, but it seems to discuss one issue that is prevalent in some online classes:  Isolation.  This can affect the assignments, so maybe it will prove to be a valuable source.
Blake, K. J. (2000).  Using the World Wide Web to teach  news writing online. Journal and Mass Communication Educator, 4-13.	This article seems more directly related to the teaching strategies that I will use to identify best practices.
Harrington, A. M. (2010). Hybrid developmental writing courses: Limitations and alternatives. Research & Teaching in Developmental Education 26, 2 4-20.	Another good article; I chose this one because it looks at how some schools are abandoning completely online courses because of poor reading skills, etc. in students.
