Description
Digital Drop-Off (DDO) is a custom tool developed at the University of Dayton (UD). This tool provides students a means of soliciting online feedback from UD peer writing consultants through the same platform that the students use for most other academic activities.
The Write Place (UD's writing support center) was in need of a system capable of facilitating writing support for distance learning students and those unable to stop by the on-campus writing support center for a consultation. DDO, piloted during the Spring 2015 term, offers a simple way for students to drop off documents, and receive writing feedback about organization, content, and mechanics from within the institution's LMS.
This presentation will discuss and demo the DDO tool as well as provide a forum to discuss how an LMS can be used as a platform for a robust online writing support center. Attendees will be encouraged to share feedback on the tool and discuss their institution's needs in regards to online student writing support.
