Re: Decentralized tutoring

["B. Silk" <bsilk@titan.iwu.edu>]

Thanks for the resources, Dave!  I know that wcenter had a discussion on
decentralized tutoring long ago (when I first joined).  I think that
discussion was mostly concerned with satillite sites dedicated
specifically to tutoring.  Our own parapatetic "outpost" is really just a
response to a need for a more human and visible-to-students setting than
the architectually attractive but barnlike lab in which we're housed.   
We like to think of it as a moveable feast of writing-appreciation.
