"One of my biggest regrets as a teacher of writing is that for many years, I didn't make students write enough." John Warner argues for changes in course designs to give students a lot more practice with shorter writing formats.

"Both digital writing and information literacy call attention to today's interactive and multimodal information environments, which have both expanded and complicated the ways people use, create, and share information. As both composition instructors and librarians expand our conceptions of writing and of research, we may find that rhetoric becomes all the more essential for situating information literacy and writing."

I've heard multiple Kenyon faculty say that the first step of teaching writing in their disciplines is to unlearn the writing habits students used successfully in earlier educational experiences. What can we do to better "communicat(e) what really happens inside our classes" as this author asks?

Should you write early? Late? In short blocks or long ones? Maybe the most important thing is just that you have a routine. (But if you don't have one yet, might we suggest writing circles at the CIP?)

Interesting ideas about using formal constraints (even hidden ones) to inject some playfulness into a writing task. I wonder if our faculty writing groups might benefit from this approach occasionally!

Interesting review of a new book on writing pedagogy. The central message of the book appears to be one which I've heard many Kenyon faculty members discuss - deliver only a few critical messages to a student per writing exercise, based on their current stage of writing development. There's a much better chance that the student will take those one or two lessons to heart than if they're hidden in feedback which bleeds red ink.

One issue in discussions of college writing is how to incorporate writing practice into STEM courses. Some Kenyon professors in STEM subjects include journal assignments and process descriptions into their courses. Here are some suggestions on similar metacognitive "writing to learn" approaches, including guidelines for feedback to students.

An "author platform" is "an ability to sell books because of who you are and who you can reach." In other words, it's part of considering your audience when you write - including considering how your ideal audience will find you.
