Peer Centered “The purpose of Peer Centered is to give space for peer writing tutors to discuss important issues with their colleagues around the world. Originally, this web board was developed to help extend the weekly “live” or “real-time” discussion on the Virtual Writing Center MOO (see http://www.slcc.edu/wc/peercentered/ for more information). Unfortunately the real-time conversations really never took off, but in order to keep Peer Centered around, I decided to shift the emphasis away from real-time discussion to the web board. Each week we will have a new topic, but feel free to comment on previous conversations. Or put your own in the “Free for all” section.
In any case, if you are a peer writing tutor, or are interested in peer writing tutoring, this space is dedicated to you. If you have any comments or suggestions about Peer Centered, let me know. - clint gardner”
