ABSTRACT
The move to computers in writing centers seems inevitable. Crump (1994) believed that in the future students will do most of their writing online. Healy (1995), Jordan-Henley and Maid (1995a), and Kinkead (1988), among others, have pointed out the advantages of creating virtual spaces for writing centers. Nelson and Wambeam (1995) encouraged writing centers to lead in developing and using computers for writing; they warned that writing centers avoiding technology may face resource reductions, marginalization, and the abrogation of decisionmaking power to nonexperts.
