In this nodal hypertext, Yergeau, Wozniak, and Vandenberg suggest a few of the ways AVT (audio-visual-textual) platforms productively complicate face-to-face or &#8220;discontinuous email&#8221;: two default modes of interaction in writing centers. They include several video clips from consulting sessions using Sight Speed, a cross-platform (and bandwidth heavy?) AVT application.<\/p>\n<p>This is a pro-AVT account, with lots of examples to illustrate some of the<br \/>\nchallenges students and consultants faced. The authors offset the positive<br \/>\ntenor of the article with grounding and caveats, noting, for example, that while<br \/>\n&quot;[they] revel in the recomposition of f2f via AVT, [they] want to avoid an<br \/>\nattitude of naive nostalgia.&quot; Most accept that face-to-face consulting<br \/>\nallows for communicative dimensions not neatly duplicated via distances,<br \/>\ninterfaces, and so on. But AVT consulting refreshes the debates between<br \/>\nsynchronous and asynchronous, conversation and response, f2f and online.<br \/>\nThe piece goes on to deal with the haunting of f2f genealogies of interaction,<br \/>\nBolter and Grusin&#8217;s remediation (i.e., matters of transparency and opacity), the<br \/>\n(unavoidable?) regulatory role writing centers play, the degree to which<br \/>\ndiscontinuous email consulting undercuts much of what has motivated the growth<br \/>\nof writing centers over the past 25 years, and the <i>bricoleur<\/i> spirit of<br \/>\nonline consulting initiatives. (I would link to the specific locations in the<br \/>\npiece where this stuff comes up, but the nodes-as-frames presentation<br \/>\nunfortunately does not provide identifiable URLs for any of the sub-content).<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Computer technology&#8217;s rapid half-life aside, we also realize that<br \/>\n\tindividual writing centers have their own specific needs, and any discussion<br \/>\n\tconcerning potential AVT technologies must consider that center&#8217;s available<br \/>\n\tresources, as well as its student requests.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This point about reckoning AVT possibilities with local considerations is,<br \/>\namong other things, the purpose of Friday&#8217;s meeting. We have been piloting<br \/>\nonline consulting sessions this summer, both by IM and by discontinuous email. I<br \/>\ntend to cautiously embrace consulting by IM because I experience the<br \/>\nconversational quality that makes writing center work worth doing. I have<br \/>\nmany concerns about the way our email model is set up right now, and I suppose I<br \/>\nshouldn&#8217;t air those out here. <\/p>\n<p>Along with Yergeau et al., we&#8217;re reading Ted Remington&#8217;s<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/writinglabnewsletter.org\/archives\/v30\/30.5.pdf\">&quot;Reading,<br \/>\nWriting, and the Role of the Online Tutor,&quot; (PDF)<\/a> which argues that email<br \/>\nconsulting is <i>potentially<\/i> promising because it makes for a more<br \/>\ntext-focused experience. Interpersonal dynamics and conversation don&#8217;t<br \/>\ndetract from the text-as-written in quite the same way as in f2f sessions.<br \/>\nAlso, he emphasizes that consultants, by writing, respond in kind, modeling the<br \/>\ntextual qualities they value by virtue of the response itself. I&#8217;m not<br \/>\nconvinced, at least not from this summer&#8217;s pilot, that students regard the<br \/>\ncomments I make on their emailed drafts as any sort of model. But perhaps<br \/>\nthis is because our current set-up doesn&#8217;t give us any way of knowing whether<br \/>\nstudents ever even read the comments at all, much less whether they regard the<br \/>\nwriting the consultant does as exemplary. The time constraints (i.e.,<br \/>\nconsultants are still paid hourly when responding via discontinuous email) also<br \/>\nthrow a wrench in the works: there is only so much fine-tuning the<br \/>\nwriter-consultant can do when dedicating one hour to a five-page draft.<\/p>\n<p class=\"citation\">Yergeau, Melanie, Kathryn Wozniak, and Peter Vandenberg. &#8220;Expanding the Space of f2f: Writing Centers and Audio-Visual-Textual Conferencing.&#8221; <em>Kairos<\/em> 13.1 (Fall 2008). 17 Aug. 2008. <<a href=\"http:\/\/kairos.technorhetoric.net\/13.1\/topoi\/yergeau-et-al\/index.html\">http:\/\/kairos.technorhetoric.net\/13.1\/topoi\/ yergeau-et-al\/index.html<\/a>>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">\u23f3 Approximate reading time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">mins<\/span><\/span>In preparation for a Writing Center mini-seminar this Friday, I just finished reading the Yergeau et al. article, &#8220;Expanding the Space of f2f,&#8221; from the latest Kairos (13.1).
