Abstract
This chapter pulls together several themes explored throughout the volume, including feedback, student engagement, and assessment. It enquires into the future of Online Writing Instruction (OWI), framing that discussion around an effort to promote effective online writing development through the collaborative creation of a Position Statement designed to shape and direct teacher training, teaching practice, and students’ experiences of writing development online. The ‘Position Statement of Online Writing Instruction Principles and Example Effective Practices for OWI’ was generated upon the basis of research gathered together by a group of educators and then composed and ratified by a committee made up of members of the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC), which is a North American community of writing developers. This Position Statement sets out key principles for Online Writing Instruction and outlines effective practices for teaching writing in online learning contexts, focusing on post-secondary education (CCCC OWI Committee, 2013).
