Reviews

"""Taking Flight With OWLs...is one of the first books to offer readers advice, information, and speculation about the exciting, and often perplexing, new work being done with electronic writing tutorials....the essays in this book are nicely balanced; although most of the authors are enthusiastic about OWLs, they point out the negative as well as the positive aspects of online tutorials....This is not a how-to book, but it goes a long way toward educating the technologically naive about what is possible and desirable in terms of electronic tutoring."" —College English ""Inman and Sewell's Taking Flight With OWLs is an interesting and thought-provoking read....Inman and Sewell have produced a collection that can be used by professional practitioners and educators alike, and I would recommend it to anyone working on projects that require individuals to share materials using online media."" —Technical Communication ""An important topic about which too little has been written....This book is desperately needed....It is very useful to have all these articles in one volume."" —Carrie S. Leverenz Florida State University"
