• First, we provide the equivalent of a free writing textbook--the sort of rhetoric and reader that typically costs anywhere from $75 to $100.
• Second, in the spirit of the cultural commons, we invite our readers, particularly college faculty, to help us develop this text, so that it meets the needs of students in diverse writing courses.
– Beyond expanding Writing Commons so it could be the required text for technical and professional writing courses, fiction courses, creative nonfiction courses--and so on--we hope to inspire our colleagues to introduce new media elements, from videos, podcasts, to interactive components. Please see our Guide for Authors
– for details on how you can get involved!
• [Third, because we believe students learn chiefly by writing and by sharing reviews of one another's texts, we provide a writing space for students to develop profile pages, chat with classmates, and share pictures and notes: Community! ]
