Jennifer Cunningham, Ph.D., professor in the English Department, recently published "The Community of Inquiry Framework in Writing Studies: Designing for Learning with Peer Review." The book, a culmination of eight years of research and composing, investigates peer review in hybrid and online first-year writing courses.
In March 2017 at the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) in Portland, Oregon, the four authors of this book attended an Online Writing Instruction (OWI) Standing Group meeting. Not having met previously, they found themselves in conversation, given individual interests in and research with varying aspects of the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework. At that meeting, a subcommittee was formed that evolved into a research team.
"Our collaboration has resulted in four journal articles, a book chapter, and this book—not to mention the affinity and friendships that have naturally occurred as a result of weekly Zoom meetings and annual conference travel," says Cunningham.
