ABSTRACT

As we approach the 21st century and find ourselves electronically linked to the entire globe, having students in Arkansas tutor students in Tennessee should be as easy as driving across the 140 bridge from Arkansas to Tennessee. While the Internet eliminates many boundaries, state legislatures (which control funding of state institutions) and internal politics (which can exist both between schools and among departments and individuals at those schools) sometimes hinder students at either location from serving one another. Beginning the Cyberspace Writing Center Consultation Project, however, we gave little thought to such political boundaries.
