This is to announce a new interest group devoted to the study of computers
and writing, specifically writing instruction in computer-based classrooms.
We are interested in articles pertaining to, but not limited by, the
following topics:

        Human/Factors research and writing environments
        Text editor design
        Natural Language adjuncts to writing instruction
        Computers and the soft sciences
        Psychological effects of computer writing/instruction
        Composition theory applied to computer-based instruction
        Anecdotal accounts of computer writing experiences
        Using the NET in the classroom
        Computer-based conferences
        Public domain software for the classroom
        Reviews of writing and editing packages
        Conference announcements and proceedings
        Telecommunications and its effects on language
        Writing without paper
        Computers and hearing impaired students
        Computers and learning disabled students
        Computers and basic writers
        Computers and humanists
        Computers and writing professionals

This will be a moderated newsgroup with issues released weekly.  It will be
a forum for writing professionals (those who must use computers for their
writing) and computing professionals (those who design the hardware and
software that writers depend upon) to meet and discuss issues relevant to
both fields, but we welcome notes from novice computer writers.  Notes and
requests to be included on a mailing list should be sent to

[Note: I'll be receiving a copy of this digest and forwarding all articles
       of particular interest to Computers and Society Digest (and mod.comp-soc)
       for those that don't want to read yet another digest!   -- Dave]
