Reviews

"""This excellent book describes in detail the inauguration processes and results (realizations) of varied field testing of the Electronic Quills literacy curriculum....This scholarly work is well organized, succinctly written, and is supported by numerous tables and figures which explain the Quills program. Scholars and students will find the references current and productive. Highly recommended for acquisition by academic libraries...especially useful for professionals and for university faculty, graduate students, and scholars with special interests in curriculum development, educational innovation, and teacher education."" —CHOICE ""...its central theses and ethnographic detail make it a worthwhile read for those interested in designing computer writing environments, especially across educational levels....well based in educational theory, but its real power resides in its anecdotes, its summaries of student and faculty exchanges, and its presentation of computer-mediated texts."" —Technical Communication Quarterly"
