    Announcing an online companion conference for Computers & Writing 2001:
    Computers & Writing Online 2001!

    A call for papers has been posted on the C&W Online 2001 web site:

    http://web.nwe.ufl.edu/cwonline2001/present/cfp.html

    We hope you'll take a look at the CFP and consider submitting a conference
    proposal!

    What is C&W Online?

    C&W Online is an online companion conference for C&W 2001 (which meets in
    May 2001 at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana, USA). The online
    conference allows the C&W community to extend the mission and scope of the
    onsite conference in several ways -- by including those who can't travel to
    the onsite conference; by providing a venue for events which are difficult
    to include in the onsite conference, and by giving onsite conference
    attendees a chance to meet online before the conference and participate in
    activities valuable to those in C&W.

    What kind of work is presented at C&W Online?

    We encourage any submission which addresses the field of computers and
    writing, whether your focus is rhetoric or composition, media studies,
    theory, interdisciplinary work, or something else altogether. Historically
    C&W has been a very diverse conference and we hope to represent that wide
    range of interests.

    How are C&W and C&W Online different?

    The onsite and online conferences are coordinated by two separate teams who
    work together to make sure the events of both conferences are
    complimentary. Though the conferences share some events and personnel, they
    are distinct -- if you recently submitted a proposal for C&W, you're not
    automatically considered for C&W Online. We encourage you to submit a
    proposal for the Online conference whether or not you plan to attend the
    onsite C&W 2001.

    What is an online presentation like?

    Most presenters put a text or texts on the Web, then host a discussion of
    their text(s) in our conference MOO Connections. Some presenters use our
    conference email list to discuss their ideas with the C&W community. We
    also facilitate demonstrations of online environments or teaching spaces.
    Our presentation format is flexible, and we encourage those submitting
    proposals to innovate!

    What are the guidelines for proposal submission?

    Proposal submission opens 8 November 2000 and continues through 31 January
    2001. Individual or group presentations are permitted. Proposals are
    reviewed by the the C&W Online committee, including the onsite conference
    strand coordinators participating in the online conference. There is no
    restriction on the number of proposals one can submit or have accepted.

    Where can I get more information?
