A rephrased version of my posting on the summit wiki:
Seeing the ideas for the agenda at College Station has confirmed for me that writing center work, online included, is in many ways unique from one institution to the next. I’d like to discuss how our technology needs and wants can both best accommodate unique institutional needs and be used in conversation with one another for furthering scholarship, exploring best practices, and making more empirical arguments (supported by good data) for the value of our work.
In terms of scholarship, our different approaches to online tutoring offer opportunities for a multitude of collaborative, comparative studies.
Regarding best practices, it would be helpful to have a frank discussion of successful innovations and not-so-successful attempts so that our students benefit from our collective experience.
And, as I imagine the design of our forthcoming online system, I am very interested in learning more about how to gather and structure good data for all sorts of purposes, including demonstrating empirically the worth of our work with students.
